Conservation and divergence of expression of GA2-oxidase homeologs in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) [PDF]
In domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) and other woody perennials, floral initiation can be repressed by gibberellins (GAs). The associated mechanism is a major unanswered question in plant physiology, and understanding organismal aspects of GA

Genetic mechanisms in the repression of flowering by gibberellins in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) [PDF]
Background Gibberellins (GAs) can have profound effects on growth and development in higher plants. In contrast to their flowering-promotive role in many well-studied plants, GAs can repress flowering in woody perennial plants such as apple (Malus x ...

A simple and high-throughput single pollen genotyping pipeline to study meiosis in apple (Malus x domestica) [PDF]
Background Pollen are the primary carrier of male genetic information during sexual reproduction. In Angiosperms, pollen are produced in the anthers following the process of meiosis, during which ploidy halving and genetic recombination occurs, mixing ...
