• Carotenoids gene markers for sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam): applications in genetic mapping, diversity evaluation and cross‑species transference 

      Arizio, Carla Marcela; Costa Tártara, Sabrina María; Manifesto, Maria Marcela (Springer, 2014-04)
      Carotenoids play essential biological roles in plants, and genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway are evolutionarily conserved. Orange sweetpotato is an important source of β-carotene, a precursor of vitamin ...
    • Cytogenetic analysis of the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (diptera:tephritidae) species complex : construction of detailed photographic polytene chromosome maps of the Argentinian af. sp.1 member 

      Gariou-Papalexiou, Aggeliki; Giardini, Maria Cecilia; Augustinos, Antonios A.; Drosopoulou, Elena; Lanzavecchia, Silvia Beatriz; Cladera, Jorge Luis; Caceres, Carlos; Bourtzis, Kostas; Mavragani-Tsipidou, Penelope; Zacharopoulou, Antigone (2016)
      Genetic and cytogenetic studies constitute a significant basis for understanding the biology of insect pests and the design and the construction of genetic tools for biological control strategies. Anastrepha fraterculus ...
    • Diversity, genetic mapping, and signatures of domestication in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome, as revealed by Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers 

      Grzebelus, Dariusz; Iorizzo, Massimo; Senalik, Douglas A.; Ellison, Shelby L.; Cavagnaro, Pablo; Macko-Podgorni, Alicja; Heller-Uszynska, Kasia; Kilian, Andrzej; Nothnagel, Thomas; Simon, Philipp W.; Baranski, Rafal; Allender, Charlotte (2014-03)
      Carrot is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, but genetic and genomic resources supporting carrot breeding remain limited. We developed a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) platform for wild and ...
    • Expression and mapping of anthocyanin biosynthesis genes in carrot 

      Yildiz, Mehtap; Willis, David K.; Cavagnaro, Pablo; Iorizzo, Massimo; Abak, Kazim; Simon, Philipp W. (2013-07)
      Anthocyanin gene expression has been extensively studied in leaves, fruits and flowers of numerous plants. Little, however, is known about anthocyanin accumulation in roots of carrots or other species. We quantified ...
    • Fine mapping and epistatic interactions of the vernalization gene VRN-D4 in hexaploid wheat 

      Kippes, Néstor Fabián; Zhu, Jie; Chen, Andrew; Vanzetti, Leonardo Sebastian; Lukaszewski, Adam; Nishida, Hidetaka; Kato, Kenji; Dvorak, Jan; Dubcovsky, Jorge (2014-02)
      Wheat vernalization requirement is mainly controlled by the VRN1, VRN2, VRN3, and VRN4 genes. The first three have been cloned and have homoeologs in all three genomes. VRN4 has been found only in the D genome (VRN-D4) and ...
    • Mapping a gene on wheat chromosome 4BL involved in a complementary interaction with adult plant leaf rust resistance gene LrSV2 

      Dieguez, Maria Jose; Petignat, Camila; Ferella, Luciana; Fiorentino, Gabriela A.; Silva, Martha; Dabove, Marisol Alicia; Rosero Yanez, Gustavo Iván; Lopez, Micaela; Pergolesi, María Fernanda; Ingala, Lorena Romina; Cuyeu, Alba Romina; Sacco, Francisco (Springer, 2018-08)
      A complementary gene to LrSV2 for specific adult plant leaf rust resistance in wheat was mapped on chromosome 4BL, tightly linked to Lr12 / 31. LrSV2 is a race-specific adult plant leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) resistance ...
    • The genome of the stress-tolerant wild tomato species Solanum pennellii 

      Bolger, Anthony; Scossa, Federico; Bolger, Marie E.; Lanz, Christa; Maumus, Florian; Tohge, Takayuki; Quesneville, Hadi; Alseekh, Saleh; Sørensen, Iben; Lichtenstein, Gabriel; Fich, Eric A.; Conte, Mariana; Keller, Heike; Schneeberger, Korbinian; Schwacke, Rainer; Ofner, Itai; Vrebalov, Julia; Xu, Yimin; Osorio, Sonia; Aflitos, Saulo Alves; Schijlen, Elio; Jiménez-Goméz, José M.; Ryngajllo, Malgorzata; Kimura, Seisuke; Kumar, Ravi; Koenig, Daniel; Headland, Lauren R.; Maloof, Julin N.; Sinha, Neelima; van Ham, Roeland C. H. J.; Lankhorst, René Klein; Mao, Linyong; Vogel, Alexander; Arsova, Borjana; Panstruga, Ralph; Fei, Zhangjun; Rose, Jocelyn K. C.; Zamir, Dani; Carrari, Fernando; Giovannoni, James J.; Weigel, Detlef; Usadel, Björn; Fernie, Alisdair R. (Nature Publishing Group, 2014-09)
      Solanum pennellii is a wild tomato species endemic to Andean regions in South America, where it has evolved to thrive in arid habitats. Because of its extreme stress tolerance and unusual morphology, it is an important ...
