Identificación de marcadores moleculares (SNP) y genes candidatos asociados a la tolerancia genética al complejo mancha de asfalto en variedades nativas de maíz (Zea mays L)

Cienc. tecnol. salud; 7 (2), 2020
El complejo mancha de asfalto (CMA) en maíz (ZeamaysL.), causado por los hongos Phyllachora maydis Maubl. Y Monographella maydis Müller & Samuels, es una enfermedad de importancia económica en Guatemala, que ha causado pérdida en el rendimiento entre 30 a 50%, inclusive del 100% si las condiciones so...

Cloning and molecular characterization of a putative habanero pepper SERK1 cDNA expressed during somatic and zygotic embryogenesis

Background: Plant gene homologs that control cell differentiation can be used as biotechnological tools to study the in vitro cell proliferation competence of tissue culture-recalcitrant species such as peppers. It has been demonstrated that SERK1 homologs enhance embryogenic competence when overexpresse...

Screening and analysis on the differentially expression genes between diploid and autotetraploid watermelon by using of digital gene expression profile

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019
Abstract Synthetic polyploids are key breeding materials for watermelon. Compared with diploid watermelon, the tetraploid watermelon often exhibit wide phenotypic differences and differential gene expression. Digital gene expression (DGE) profile technique was performed in this study to present gene exp...

Origination and selection of ABCDE and AGL6 subfamily MADS-box genes in gymnosperms and angiosperms

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: The morphological diversity of flower organs is closely related to functional divergence within the MADS-box gene family. Bryophytes and seedless vascular plants have MADS-box genes but do not have ABCDE or AGAMOUS-LIKE6 (AGL6) genes. ABCDE and AGL6 genes belong to the subgroup of MADS-box ge...

PDIL1-2 can indirectly and negatively regulate expression of the AGPL1 gene in bread wheat

Biol. Res; 52 (), 2019
BACKGROUND: ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), the key enzyme in plant starch biosynthesis, is a heterotetramer composed of two identical large subunits and two identical small subunits. AGPase has plastidial and cytosolic isoforms in higher plants, whereas it is mainly detected in the cytosol of gr...

Expression profiles of five FT-like genes and functional analysis of PhFT-1 in a Phalaenopsis hybrid

Background: Phalaenopsis is an important ornamental flowering plant that belongs to the Orchidaceae family and is cultivated worldwide. Phalaenopsis has a long juvenile phase; therefore, it is important to understand the genetic elements regulating the transition from vegetative phase to reproductive pha...

Transcriptome analysis of female and male flower buds of Idesia polycarpa Maxim. var. vestita Diels

Background: Idesia polycarpa Maxim. var. vestita Diels, a dioecious plant, is widely used for biodiesel due to the high oil content of its fruits. However, it is hard to distinguish its sex in the seedling stage, which makes breeding and production problematic as only the female tree can produce fruits, ...

Selection of suitable reference genes for abiotic stress-responsive gene expression studies in peanut by real-time quantitative PCR

Background: Because of its strong specificity and high accuracy, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) has been a widely used method to study the expression of genes responsive to stress. It is crucial to have a suitable set of reference genes to normalize target gene expression in peanut under different ...

Screening of melon genotypes for resistance to vegetable leafminer and your phenotypic correlations with colorimetry

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Melon is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world. With short cycle in a system of phased planting, phytosanitary control is compromised, and a great volume of agricultural chemicals is used to control vegetable leafminer. Genetic control is an ideal alternative to avoid the damage...

Pleiotropic effects of the sdw1 locus in barley populations representing different rounds of recombination

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (5), 2014
Background In the present study populations, representing different rounds of recombination were used for the analysis of phenotypic effects associated with the sdw1/denso locus. Other studies have mostly focused only on one type of population. Many different QTLs mapped at the same position as the sdw1/...
