    Introduction xiii
     
    About the Companion Website xix
     
    PART I: PLANT GENOMES AND GENES
     
    Chapter 1 Plant genetic material 3
     
    1.1 DNA is the genetic material of all living organisms, including plants 3
     
    1.2 The plant cell contains three independent genomes 8
     
    1.3 A gene is a complete set of instructions for building an RNA molecule 10
     
    1.4 Genes include coding sequences and regulatory sequences 11
     
    1.5 Nuclear genome size in plants is variable but the numbers of protein-coding, non-transposable element genes are roughly the same 12
     
    1.6 Genomic DNA is packaged in chromosomes 15
     
    1.7 Summary 15
     
    1.8 Problems 15
     
    References 16
     
    Chapter 2 The shifting genomic landscape 17
     
    2.1 The genomes of individual plants can differ in many ways 17
     
    2.2 Differences in sequences between plants provide clues about gene function 20
     
    2.3 SNPs and lengthmutations in simple sequence repeats are useful tools for genome mapping and marker assisted selection 22
     
    2.4 Genome size and chromosome number are variable 28
     
    2.5 Segments of DNA are often duplicated and can recombine 30
     
    2.6 Some genes are copied nearby in the genome 31
     
    2.7 Whole genome duplications are common in plants 34
     
    2.8 Whole genome duplication has many effects on the genome and on gene function 37
     
    2.9 Summary 41
     
    2.10 Problems 42
     
    Further reading 42

    Chapter 3 Transposable elements 45
     
    3.1 Transposable elements are common in genomes of all organisms 45
     
    3.2 Retrotransposons are mainly responsible for increases in genome size 46
     
    3.3 DNA transposons create small mutations when they insert and excise 52
     
    3.4 Transposable elements move genes and change their regulation 57
     
    3.5 How are transposable elements controlled? 60
     
    3.6 Summary 60
     
    3.7 Problems 61
     
    References 61
     
    Chapter 4 Chromatin, centromeres and telomeres 63
     
    4.1 Chromosomes are made up of chromatin, a complex of DNA and protein 63
     
    4.2 Telomeres make up the ends of chromosomes 66
     
    4.3 The chromosome middles-centromeres 71
     
    4.4 Summary 77
     
    4.5 Problems 77
     
    Further reading 77
     
    References 77
     
    Chapter 5 Genomes of organelles 79
     
    5.1 Plastids and mitochondria are descendants of free-living bacteria 79
     
    5.2 Organellar genes have been transferred to the nuclear genome 80
     
    5.3 Organellar genes sometimes include introns 82
     
    5.4 Organellar mRNA is often edited 82
     
    5.5 Mitochondrial genomes contain fewer genes than chloroplasts 84
     
    5.6 Plant mitochondrial genomes are large and undergo frequent recombination 87
     
    5.7 All plastid genomes in a cell are identical 91
     
    5.8 Plastid genomes are similar among land plants but contain some structural rearrangements 93
     
    5.9 Summary 95
     
    5.10 Problems 95
     
    Further reading 95

    Chapter 6 RNA 99
     
    6.1 RNA links components of the Central Dogma 99
     
    6.2 Structure provides RNA with unique properties 102
     
    6.3 RNA has multiple regulatory activities 105
     
    6.4 Summary 108
