COMPARISON OF DNA MARKER ORDER AND FLORAL TRAIT EVOLUTION AMONG DIPLOID AND TETRAPLOID GENOMES OF GOSSYPIUM by APARNA DESAI

چکیده
Scientific information on the A genome species of Gossypium is limited due to their decline as crop species and low levels of marker polymorphism. As the A subgenome of the allotetraploid species of Gossypium is contributed by A genome progenitors, studies on the A genome will help us understand the evolution of polyploids. We compared DNA marker order along the chromosomes of A, D and At genomes of Gossypium by constructing a comprehensive A genome RFLP linkage map from an interspecific F2 population of G. arboreum x G. herbaceum. Chromosomal structural rearrangements are more pronounced among A and At than A and D genomes, perhaps owing to the higher level of repetitive DNA in A and At genomes. We also compared QTL governing the floral morphological variation among diploid and tetraploid interspecific F2 populations. Our study indicated possible silencing and subfuntionalization of homeologous QTL in the tetraploid genome. Index words: Comparative mapping, comparative QTL mapping, genome evolution, Gossypium, homeologs, inversions, intergenomic interactions, orthologs, petal spot, polyploidy, RFLP, subfunctionalization, translocations, tetraploid subgenomes.

Analyses of phenotype and ARGOS and ASY1 expression in a ploidy Chinese cabbage series derived from one haploid.
The aim of this research was to improve our understanding of how ploidy level influences phenotype and gene expression in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis). Haploid plants (2n = 10) was induced by 0.2% colchicine to produce diploid (2n = 20) and tetraploid plants (2n = 40). The aneuploid (2n = 24) was also obtained by hybridization between diploid plants as the female and tetra...
متن کاملGenetic Methods for Mitigating Invasiveness of Woody Ornamental Plants: Research Needs and Opportunities
Because cultivation of exotic woody ornamental plants has led to establishment of a number of invasive species, there is considerable interest in breeding methods to reduce the propensity for spread. We review progress in conventional breeding and transgenic biotechnology approaches to producing sterile forms of ornamental woody plants. Conventional forms of inducing sterility, including induct...
متن کاملGains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach
By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...
متن کاملImproved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.
BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...

A rigorous microscale electrokinetic model for hydrogel-colloid composites is adopted to compute macroscale profiles of electrolyte concentration, electrostatic potential, and hydrostatic pressure across membranes that separate electrolytes with different concentrations. The membranes are uncharged polymeric hydrogels in which charged spherical colloidal particles are immobilized and randomly d...
