EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF THE TIP100 TRANSPOSON IN THE GENUS IPOMOEA

Evolutionary history of the Tip100 transposon in the genus Ipomoea

Tip100 is an Ac-like transposable element that belongs to the hAT superfamily.First discovered in Ipomoea purpurea (common morning glory), it was classified as an autonomous element capable of movement within the genome.As Tip100 data were already available in databases, the sequences of related elements in ten additional species of Ipomoea and fiv

Morphological and genetic differences in legs of a polygamous beetle between sexes, Glenea cantor (Coleopter: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae).

The legs of insects play an important role in their daily behaviour, especially reproduction.Entomologists have performed much research on the role of the leg in different behaviours of beetles, an important group in the insect family, but relatively little has been done to study the ultrastructure and transcriptome of their legs.Hence, we systemat
