Genetic mapping and identification of QTL for earliness in the globe artichoke/cultivated cardoon complex
(2012-05-23)
AbstractBackgroundThe Asteraceae species Cynara cardunculus (2n = 2x = 34) includes the two fully cross-compatible domesticated taxa globe artichoke (var. scolymus L.) and cultivated cardoon (var. ...
QTL mapping reveals the genetic architecture of loci affecting pre- and post-zygotic isolating barriers in Louisiana Iris
(2012-06-15)
Abstract
Background
Hybridization among Louisiana Irises has been well established and the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation is known to affect the potential for and the directionality ...
Association mapping in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) reveals independent control of apical vs. basal branching
(2015-03-11)
Abstract
Background
Shoot branching is an important determinant of plant architecture and influences various aspects of growth and development. Selection on branching has also ...
Ontology and diversity of transcript-associated microsatellites mined from a globe artichoke EST database
(2009-09-28)
Abstract
Background
The globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L.) is a significant crop in the Mediterranean basin. Despite its commercial importance and its both dietary and pharmaceutical value, knowledge of ...
RAD tag sequencing as a source of SNP markers in Cynara cardunculus L.
(2012-01-03)
Abstract
Background
The globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus L. var. scolymus) genome is relatively poorly explored, especially compared to those of the other major Asteraceae crops sunflower and lettuce. No SNP markers ...
EST and EST-SSR Marker Resources for Iris
(2009-06-10)
Abstract
Background
Limited DNA sequence and DNA marker resources have been developed for Iris (Iridaceae), a monocot genus of ...
A high-density genetic map of Arachis duranensis, a diploid ancestor of cultivated peanut
(2012-09-11)
Abstract
Background
Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an allotetraploid species whose ancestral genomes are most likely derived from the A-genome species, A. duranensis, and the B-genome ...
BSTA: a targeted approach combines bulked segregant analysis with next- generation sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly for SNP discovery in sunflower
(2013-09-17)
Abstract
Background
Sunflower belongs to the largest plant family on earth, the genomically poorly explored Compositae. Downy mildew Plasmopara halstedii (Farlow) Berlese & de Toni is one of ...
Transmission ratio distortion results in asymmetric introgression in Louisiana Iris
(2010-03-18)
Abstract
Background
Linkage maps are useful tools for examining both the genetic architecture of quantitative traits and the evolution of reproductive incompatibilities. We describe the generation of two genetic maps ...
Comparative mapping in intraspecific populations uncovers a high degree of macrosynteny between A - and B - genome diploid species of peanut
(2012-11-10)
Abstract
Background
Cultivated peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed crop with an allotetraploid genome (AABB, 2n = 4x = 40). Both the ...
