A candidate gene survey of quantitative trait loci affecting chemical composition in tomato fruit
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2008-07)In tomato, numerous wild-related species have been demonstrated to be untapped sources of valuable genetic variability, including pathogen-resistance genes, nutritional, and industrial quality traits. From a collection of ... -
Allelic differences in a vacuolar invertase affect Arabidopsis growth at early plant development
(2016)Improving carbon fixation in order to enhance crop yield is a major goal in plant sciences. By quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, it has been demonstrated that a vacuolar invertase (vac-Inv) plays a key role in ... -
Association mapping in sunflower for sclerotinia head rot resistance
(BMC, 2012-06)Background: Sclerotinia Head Rot (SHR) is one of the most damaging diseases of sunflower in Europe, Argentina, and USA, causing average yield reductions of 10 to 20 %, but leading to total production loss under favorable ... -
Genetic dissection of vitamin E biosynthesis in tomato
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2011-07)Vegetables are critical for human health as they are a source of multiple vitamins including vitamin E (VTE). In plants, the synthesis of VTE compounds, tocopherol and tocotrienol, derives from precursors of the shikimate ... -
Genetic diversity of Mycobacterium avium sp. Paratuberculosis by mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit–variable number tandem repeat and multi‑locus short‑sequence repeat one‑sentence summary : genetic diversity of Mycobacterium avium sp. Paratuberculosis isolates
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow, 2021-03)Background: Paratuberculosis is an enteric disease caused by Mycobacterium avium sp. paratuberculosis (MAP) that affects mainly ruminant producing losses to the livestock industry. Many molecular epidemiological methods ... -
Identification and characterization of metabolite quantitative trait loci in tomato leaves and comparison with those reported for fruits and seeds
(Springer, 2019-04)Introduction: To date, most studies of natural variation and metabolite quantitative trait loci (mQTL) in tomato have focused on fruit metabolism, leaving aside the identification of genomic regions involved in the ... -
Natural occurring epialleles determine vitamin E accumulation in tomato fruits
(2014-07)Vitamin E (VTE) content is a low heritability nutritional trait for which the genetic determinants are poorly understood. Here, we focus on a previously detected major tomato VTE quantitative trait loci (QTL; mQTL9-2-6) ... -
Seed dormancy QTL identification across a Sorghum bicolor segregating population
(2016)Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in Sorghum bicolor is one of the main constrains for its production in the central region of Argentina, as grain maturation often coincides with rainy or high environmental humidity conditions. ... -
The genetic architecture of photosynthesis and plant growthrelated traits in tomato
(Wiley, 2018-02)To identify genomic regions involved in the regulation of fundamental physiological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration, a population of Solanum pennellii introgression lines was analyzed. We determined ...
