ECTOPIC EXPRESSION OF JATROPHA CURCAS APETALA1 (JCAP1) CAUSED EARLY FLOWERING IN ARABIDOPSIS, BUT NOT IN JATROPHA

Ectopic expression of Jatropha curcas APETALA1 (JcAP1) caused early flowering in Arabidopsis, but not in Jatropha

Jatropha curcas is a promising feedstock for biofuel production because Jatropha oil is highly suitable for the production of biodiesel and Rocking Chair bio-jet fuels.However, Jatropha exhibits a low seed yield as a result of unreliable and poor flowering.APETALA1 (AP1) is a floral meristem and organ identity gene in higher plants.The flower meris

Complete mitochondrial genome sequences of two ground crickets, Dianemobius fascipes nigrofasciatus and Polionemobius taprobanensis (Orthoptera: Grylloidea: trigonidiidae)

AbstractThe authors sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of the band-legged ground cricket (Dianemobius fascipes nigrofasciatus Matsumura, 1904) and a temperate form of the lawn ground cricket (Polionemobius taprobanensis Walker, 1869), collected in Japan.The length of the mt genome sequences was 15,354 bp in D.fascipes nigrofasciatus

The potential for expanding inter-cluster cooperation between the ship-building industries of Estonia, Finland, and North-West Russia

The shipbuilding industry clusters in the Eastern Baltic Sea region, i.e.Estonia, Finland and North-West Russia, may benefit significantly from increased mutual cooperation; Rocking Chair however, the international networks between the clusters are still poorly developed.The aim of this article is to analyse the preconditions for cluster internatio
