High genetic diversity in a rare and endangered sunflower as compared to a common congenerJ R Ellis
Vanderbilt University, Department of Biological Sciences, VU Station B 35 1634, Nashville, TN 37232, USA
Mol Ecol 15:2345-55. 2006..Finally, we conclude that H. verticillatus is not of hybrid origin as it does not exhibit a mixture of parental alleles at nuclear loci, and it does not share a chloroplast DNA haplotype with either of its putative parents...
EST-SSRs as a resource for population genetic analysesJ R Ellis
Department of Biological Sciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37232, USA
Heredity (Edinb) 99:125-32. 2007..We then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of EST-SSRs in the context of population genetic applications...
Detection of rare paternal chloroplast inheritance in controlled crosses of the endangered sunflower Helianthus verticillatusJ R Ellis
Department of Biological Sciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37232, USA
Heredity (Edinb) 100:574-80. 2008..The findings of occasional paternal transmission of the chloroplast genome are discussed in the framework of using these markers in studies of population and evolutionary biology both in Helianthus and other angiosperms...
Temporal changes in allele frequencies but stable genetic diversity over the past 40 years in the Irish Sea population of thornback ray, Raja clavataM Chevolot
Department of Marine Benthic Ecology and Evolution, Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies, Biological Centre, University of Groningen, Haren, The Netherlands
Heredity (Edinb) 101:120-6. 2008..No significant loss of genetic diversity was found over the 40-year timeframe and long-term maintenance of the genetic diversity could be due to gene flow...
