Isolation of circular DNA molecules from whole cellular DNA by use of ATP-dependent deoxyribonuclease.

abstract：:Plants in dense vegetation compete for resources, including light, and optimize their growth based on neighbor detection cues. The best studied of such behaviors is the shade-avoidance syndrome that positions leaves in optimally lit zones of a vegetation. Although proximate vegetation is known to be sensed through a r...
