Random mutagenesis, targeted mutagenesis, and transgenesis breeding approaches and their differing regulations in Australia. Random mutagenesis and SDN-1 mutagenesis approaches are unregulated, whereas transgenesis involving the insertion of novel DNA, SDN-2 mutagenesis involving the use of a template to make small mutations, and SDN-3 mutagenesis involving the use of a template to make large insertions are regulated as GM in Australia.

Full #openaccess

#PlantScience

Psittacanthus auriculatus (Loranthaceae) is an endemic species with a narrow distribution to the arid valleys of the states of Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico. The authors report significant chloroplast genome size variation among five species of Psittacanthus, high conservation of gene order (synteny) or collinearity across species, and different gene loss and pseudogenization patterns from other hemiparasites in Loranthaceae (see Morales-Saldaña et al., pp. 000–000).
