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 ...
Transcriptomic analysis of boron hyperaccumulation mechanisms in Puccinellia distans
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
Puccinellia distans, common alkali grass, is found throughout the world and can survive in soils with boron concentrations that are lethal for other plant species. Indeed, P. distans accumulates very high levels of this ...
Genome-wide association mapping of yield components and drought tolerance-related traits in cotton
(Springer, 2018-06)
Drought causes serious yield losses in cotton production throughout the world. Association mapping allows identification and localization of the genes controlling drought-related traits which will be helpful in cotton ...
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 ...
Health benefits and bioactive compounds of eggplant
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Eggplant is a vegetable crop that is grown around the world and can provide significant nutritive benefits thanks to its abundance of vitamins, phenolics and antioxidants. In addition, eggplant has potential pharmaceutical ...
Molecular genetic diversity in the Origanum genus: EST-SSR and SRAP marker analyses of the 22 species in eight sections that naturally occur in Turkey
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Origanum (L.) is a genus of herbaceous perennials with culinary and medicinal uses with many species found in the Mediterranean region. The taxonomic classification of species belonging to this genus has been studied using ...
