Comparative analysis of pepper and tomato reveals euchromatin expansion of pepper genome caused by differential accumulation of Ty3/Gypsy-like elements

Abstract Background Among the Solanaceae plants, the pepper genome is three times larger than that of tomato.Although the gene repertoire and gene order of both species are well conserved, the cause of the genome-size difference is not known.To determine the causes for the expansion of pepper euchromatic regions, we compared the pepper genome to th

Molecular Characterization and Evaluation of Oil-degrading Native Bacteria Isolated from Automotive Service Station Oil- contaminated Soils

In this study, a hydrocarbon-degrading mixed inoculum which is able to use used oil as sole carbon source, was selected from 15 bacterial isolates obtained from automotive service station oil-contaminated soils.Degrading microorganisms were isolated using different oils as sole carbon source and identified by the amplification and sequencing of the
