    Abstract : Festuca ovina, sheep's fescue is a widely distributed perennial outbreeder that belongs to the grass family Poaceae and is very common in the northern temperate zone. The genus Festuca s.l. is partitioned into fine-leaved fescues to which F. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evidence for adaptive variation at the genes coding for cytosolic phosphoglucose isomerase (PGIC) in Festuca ovina L

    Author : Yuan Li; Biodiversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 3-D protein structure; purifying selection; positive selection; cDNA sequences; local adaptation; alvar grasslands; Festuca ovina; Phosphoglucose isomerase; PgiC loci; SNPs; nucleotide polymorphism; horizontal gene transfer;

    Abstract : The gene (Pgi) encoding the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) which plays a central role in the main pathways of carbon metabolism has been shown to be of adaptive significance in a wide range of different species. Earlier studies of enzyme electromorph variation in the grass Festuca ovina suggest that variation in cytosolic PGI (PGIC) may be involved in the adaptive response of F. READ MORE

  5. 3. Horizontal gene transfer in plants - The story of PgiC2

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; plant genetics; Festuca ovina; PgiC; Horizontal gene transfer;

    Abstract : Sheep's fescue, Festuca ovina, is a common grass found all over Eurasia. In populations in southern Sweden some individuals were found to have two copies of the gene for cytoplasmic phosphoglucose isomerase, PgiC. READ MORE
