Conservation of gene function in the Solanaceae as revealed by comparative mapping of domestication traits in eggplant
(Genetics Society of America, 2002-08)
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for domestication-related traits were identified in an interspecific F2 population of eggplant (Solanum linnaeanum × S. melongena). Although 62 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified ...
Mapping quantitative trait loci in inbred backcross lines of Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium (LA1589)
(National Research Council of Canada, 2002-11)
Although tomato has been the subject of extensive quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping experiments, most of this work has been conducted on transient populations (e.g., F2 or backcross) and few homozygous, permanent ...
A comparative genetic linkage map of eggplant (Solanum melongena) and its implications for genome evolution in the Solanaceae
(Genetics Society of America, 2002-08)
A molecular genetic linkage map based on tomato cDNA, genomic DNA, and EST markers was constructed for eggplant, Solanum melongena. The map consists of 12 linkage groups, spans 1480 cM, and contains 233 markers. Comparison ...
Salt tolerance in Solanum pennellii: Antioxidant response and related QTL
(BioMed Central, 2010-04)
Background: Excessive soil salinity is an important problem for agriculture, however, salt tolerance is a complex trait that is not easily bred into plants. Exposure of cultivated tomato to salt stress has been reported ...
Comparative fine mapping of fruit quality QTLs on chromosome 4 introgressions derived from two wild tomato species
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004)
Despite their unsuitability for agricultural production, the wild relatives of crop species represent a largely untapped resource of novel QTLs potentially useful for crop plant improvement. In this regard, previous ...
