THREE GROUPS OF TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS WITH CONTRASTING COPY NUMBER DYNAMICS AND HOST RESPONSES IN THE MAIZE (ZEA MAYS SSP. MAYS) GENOME.

Three groups of transposable elements with contrasting copy number dynamics and host responses in the maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) genome.

Most angiosperm nuclear DNA is repetitive and derived from silenced transposable elements (TEs).TE silencing requires substantial resources from the plant host, including the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs).Thus, the interaction between TEs and siRNAs is a critical aspect of both the function and the evolution of plant genomes.Yet the

Periurbanization and conservation pressures over remnants of native vegetation: impact on ecosystem services for a Latin-American capital city

Urban expansion in Latin-American cities is faster than urban planning.In Truck Model Kit order to implement sustainable planning the capacity of peri-urban areas to provide ecosystem services must be evaluated in the context of competing urbanization and conservation pressures.In this study we analyzed the effect of urban expansion on peri-urban v
