tRNALeu intron (UAA) of Ficus carica L.: genetic diversity and evolutionary patterns

G. Baraket, Abdelkrim, A. B., and Salhi-Hannachi, A., tRNALeu intron (UAA) of Ficus carica L.: genetic diversity and evolutionary patterns, vol. 14, pp. 3817-3832, 2015.

Cytoplasmic chloroplast DNA was explored to establish genetic relationships among Ficus carica cultivars and elucidate the molecular evolution of the species. The results suggest the occurrence of haplotype and nucleotide diversity. Conserved group I intron sequence motifs were detected and showed a common secondary structure, despite the presence of some mutations on their sequences. The neighbor-joining dendrogram showed a continuous diversity that characterizes local resources.
