Inheritance of seedlessness and the molecular characterization of the INO gene in Annonaceae

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract The inheritance of the seedless fruit characteristic of Annona squamosa has not yet been explained. Molecular techniques may aid breeding programs, mainly in the assisted selection of the target gene. The INO gene may be related to seed development in these fruits. The objective of the present p...

Braz. j. biol; 82 (), 2022
Summer apples are one of the most important plant community in Artvin province located Northeastern part of Turkey. In present study 22 local apple genotypes were characterized by phenological, morphological, biochemical and sensory properties. Harvest date was the main phenological data. Morphological m...

Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of CpCBF2 gene in harvested papaya fruit under temperature stresses

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (4), 2013
Background: C-repeat binding factors (CBFs) are transcription factors that regulate the expression of a number of genes related to abiotic stresses. Few CBF genes have been cloned from other plants but no report in papaya. In present study, a full-length cDNA, designated as CpCBF2, was cloned from papaya...

Using genomics to improve fruit quality

Biol. Res; 46 (4), 2013
New fruit varieties are needed to satisfy consumers, and the industry is facing new challenges in order to respond to these demands. The emergence of genomic tools is releasing information on polymorphisms that can be utilized to expedite breeding processes in species that are difficult to breed, given t...
