Organogenesis from transformed tomato explants
(Humana Press, 2005)
Tomato was one of the first crops for which a genetic transformation system was reported involving regeneration by organogenesis from Agrobacterium-transformed explants. Since the initial reports, various factors have been ...
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 ...
QTL analysis of morphological traits in eggplant and implications for conservation of gene function during evolution of solanaceous species
(Springer, 2003-07)
An interspecific F2 population from a cross between cultivated eggplant, Solanum melongena, and its wild relative, S. linnaeanum, was analyzed for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting leaf, flower, fruit and plant traits. ...
Fine mapping of quantitative trait loci for improved fruit characteristics from Lycopersicon chmielewskii chromosome 1
(National Research Council of Canada, 2003-04)
The near-isogenic line (NIL) TA1150 contains a 56-cM introgression from Lycopersicon chmielewskii chromosome 1 and has several interesting phenotypic characteristics including fruit with orange color, high levels of soluble ...
Development of practical HPLC methods for the separation and determination of eggplant steroidal glycoalkaloids and their aglycones
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-01)
A practical set of HPLC methods was developed for the separation and determination of the eggplant steroidal glycoalkaloids, solanine, chaconine, solasonine, solamargine, and their aglycones, solasodine and solanidine. A ...
Water-soluble antioxidant potential of Turkish pepper cultivars
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2008-06)
In this work, 29 pepper cultivars that represent the diversity of types and varieties grown in Turkey were analyzed for water-soluble antioxidant capacity and phenolic and vitamin C contents. In addition, 14 non-Turkish ...
Advanced backcross QTL analysis of a Lycopersicon esculentum x L. pennellii cross and identification of possible orthologs in the Solanaceae
(Springer, 2004-02)
In this study, the advanced backcross QTL (AB-QTL) mapping strategy was used to identify loci for yield, processing and fruit quality traits in a population derived from the interspecific cross Lycopersicon esculentum E6203 ...
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 ...
