Signal transduction and biotechnology in response to environmental stresses

TL;DR: Development of water and salinity stress-tolerant crops through genetic engineering provides an avenue towards the reclamation of farmlands that have been lost due to salinity and lack of irrigation water/rainfall.

Development and validation of simple sequence repeat markers from Arachis hypogaea transcript sequences

TL;DR: The new SSRs identified in this study enrich the current marker resources for A. hypogaea and may also be useful for genetic diversity analysis, functional genomics research, and molecular breeding.

Genomics and Genetic Transformation in Arachis

TL;DR: This review focus on Arachis functional and structural genomic studies, and their application in peanut improvement via plant transformation, that constitutes one of the most promising strategies to advance the introgression and modulation of important traits which can be translated into crop gain.

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.
