The influence of pigmentation patterning on bumblebee foraging from flowers of Antirrhinum majus [PDF]

, 2013
Patterns of pigmentation overlying the petal vasculature are common in flowering plants,and have been postulated to play a role in pollinator attraction.

Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping and Identification of Candidate Genes Controlling Bolting in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Spinach is a typical light-sensitive plant. Long days can induce early bolting, thereby influencing the regional adaptation, quality, and vegetative yield of spinach.

Flowers and Flowering

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2009
In the Epilogue of Understanding Flowers and Flowering, Beverley Glover states that the book ‘was conceived with a single clear aim: to link what we know of the molecular and genetic control of how flowers come to look as they do with what we know from evolutionary and ecological perspectives about why they look as they do.’ This is an ambitious ...

Impacts of allopolyploidization and structural variation on intraspecific diversification in Brassica rapa

Genome Biology, 2021
Background Despite the prevalence and recurrence of polyploidization in the speciation of flowering plants, its impacts on crop intraspecific genome diversification are largely unknown.

Chromosome doubling of microspore-derived plants from cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Chromosome doubling of microspore-derived plants is an important factor in the practical application of microspore culture technology because breeding programs require a large number of genetically stable, homozygous doubled haploid plants with a high ...

Mining for Candidate Genes in an Introgression Line by Using RNA Sequencing: The Anthocyanin Overaccumulation Phenotype in Brassica

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Introgression breeding is a widely used method for the genetic improvement of crop plants; however, the mechanism underlying candidate gene flow patterns during hybridization is poorly understood. In this study, we used a powerful pipeline to investigate

Tobacco rattle virus-induced PHYTOENE DESATURASE (PDS) and Mg-chelatase H subunit (ChlH) gene silencing in Solanum pseudocapsicum L. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an attractive tool for determining gene function in plants. The present study constitutes the first application of VIGS in S. pseudocapsicum, which has great ornamental and pharmaceutical value, using tobacco rattle

Comprehensive analysis of the WRKY gene family in Cucumis metuliferus and their expression profile in response to an early stage of root knot nematode infection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Root-knot nematode (RKN) is a major factor that limits the growth and productivity of important Cucumis crops, such as cucumber and melon, which lack RKN-resistance genes in their genome. Cucumis metuliferus is a wild Cucumis species that displays a high
