Genotyping-by-sequencing based genetic mapping reveals large number of epistatic interactions for stem rot resistance in groundnut

TL;DR: Genetic mapping identified large number of epistatic interactions indicating the complex genetic architecture for stem rot disease resistance and identified genomic regions and candidate genes that will further validate and facilitate marker development to deploy GAB for developing stemRot disease resistance groundnut varieties.

Steady expression of high oleic acid in peanut bred by marker-assisted backcrossing for fatty acid desaturase mutant alleles and its effect on seed germination along with other seedling traits.

TL;DR: Marker-assisted backcrossing was employed for the introgression of two FAD2 mutant alleles from SunOleic95R into the chromosome of ICGV06100, a high oil content peanut breeding line, and the most significant outcome was the stable expression of oil-content, oleic acid, linoleic Acid, and palmitic acid in the marker-assistedBackcrossing-introgression lines over the locations.

Identification of two major quantitative trait locus for fresh seed dormancy using the diversity arrays technology and diversity arrays technology-seq based genetic map in Spanish-type peanuts

TL;DR: Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis identified two major QTLs, namely qfsd-1 and qFSd-2 explaining 22.14% and 71.21% of phenotypic variation, respectively, which, after validation in different genetic backgrounds, may be useful for molecular breeding for FSD in peanut.

Nuclear DNA content of some important plant species

TL;DR: This survey identified several horticultural crops in a variety of families with genomes only two or three times as large asArabidopsis and several fruit trees (a pricot, cherry, mango, orange, papaya, and peach) that should facilitate molecular studies of these crops.

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.

Sanwen Huang, +95 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: This study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo, and identifies 686 gene clusters related to phloem function.
