Cilia L C Lelivelt,Matthew S. McCabe,Christine A. Newell,C. Bastiaan deSnoo,Kees M. P. van Dun,Ian Birch-Machin,John C. Gray,Kingston H. G. Mills,Jacqueline M. Nugent +8 more
TL;DR: A polyethylene glycol-mediated plastid transformation system for lettuce that generates fertile, homoplasmic, plastsid-transformed lines and constructs containing the gfp gene showed plastids-based expression of green fluorescent protein could have potential both as a production and a delivery system for edible human therapeutic proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The inheritance of resistance to Verticillium wilt caused by race 1 isolates of Verticillium dahliae in the lettuce cultivar La Brillante
Ryan J. Hayes,Leah K. McHale,Leah K. McHale,Gary E. Vallad,Maria Jose Truco,Richard W Michelmore,S. J. Klosterman,Karunakaran Maruthachalam,Krishna V. Subbarao +8 more
TL;DR: The simple inheritance of resistance indicates that breeding procedures designed for single genes will be applicable for developing resistant cultivars and is a good candidate for functional analysis and development of markers suitable for marker-assisted selection.

Lettuce: Lactuca sativa L.
D.A.C. Pink,Eavan M. Keane +1 more
TL;DR: Objectives of present-day breeding programs for lettuce are divided into three main areas: resistance to diseases and pests, increased yield and uniformity, and improvement in horticultural characteristics such as quality and resistance to early bolting.

The Genes of Lettuce and Closely Related Species
TL;DR: To date, 59 loci have been identified, including 6 influencing anthocyanin, 10 chlorophyll genes, 11 affecting leaf morphology, 4 genes influencing heading, 7 genes for flower and seed characteristics, 7 male sterile genes, 1 gene affecting sensitivity to chemicals, and 13 genes for disease resistance.

Flower visitors of lettuce under field and enclosure conditions
Masashi Goubara,Takeshi Takasaki +1 more
TL;DR: Insects visiting lettuce flowers were investigated under field and enclosure conditions and the sweat bee L. villosulum trichopse may be a pollinator for hybrid seed production of lettuce.
