Genome-wide physical mapping is an essential step toward investigating the genetic basis of complex traits as well as pursuing genomics research of virtually all plant and animal species. We have cons...
Beta-1,3-glucanase is one of the pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins involved in plant defense responses. A peach beta-1,3-glucanase gene, designated PpGns1, has been isolated and characterized. The de...
All economically important Brassica species have been successfully transformed using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Although different tissues have been used as explants, hypocotyls remain the most desira...
The apple, Malus x domestica Borkh., is one of the most important fruit trees grown worldwide. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based physical map of the apple genome has been recently construc...
New Guinea impatiens ( Impatiens hawkeri) is an economically important floral crop, however, little work has been conducted to further our understanding of the genetics of this crop. In this study, we...
Molecular markers associated with gene coding regions are useful tools for bridging functional and structural genomics. Due to their high abundance in plant genomes, single nucleotide polymorphisms (S...
The nuclear DNA content for a group of 40 Malus species and hybrids has been estimated using flow cytometry. Estimates of nuclear DNA content for this germplasm collection range from 1.45 pg for Malus...
