Genome sequence and analysis of the tuber crop potato.

Xun Xu, +96 more
- 10 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: The potato genome sequence provides a platform for genetic improvement of this vital crop and predicts 39,031 protein-coding genes and presents evidence for at least two genome duplication events indicative of a palaeopolyploid origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

fixK, a gene homologous with fnr and crp from Escherichia coli, regulates nitrogen fixation genes both positively and negatively in Rhizobium meliloti.

TL;DR: A cascade model for fixN regulation is proposed such that fixLJ activates fixN via fixK, and fixK negatively regulates expression of the nif‐specific activator nifA as well as its own expression by autoregulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genetic map of potato (Solanum tuberosum) integrating molecular markers, including transposons, and classical markers

TL;DR: A genetic map of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) integrating molecular markers with morphological and isozyme markers was constructed using a backcross population of 67 diploid potato plants using a general method that differs from previous methods employed in potato and other outbreeding plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple alleles for tuber shape in diploid potato detected by qualitative and quantitative genetic analysis using RFLPs.

TL;DR: Only those markers which are polymorphic in both parents allow accurate QTL mapping when genetic factors segregate from both parents, indicating the presence of a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) at the Ro locus and minor genetic factors.
