Breeding for bruchid resistance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) : interspecific introgression of lectin-like seed proteins from tepary bean (P. acutifolius A. Gray), genetic control and bruchid resistance characterization.

Creator:

Kusolwa, Paul Mbogo

Abstract:

Interspecific hybridization was initiated between wild P. acutifolius accession G40199 and P. vulgaris to introgress resistance to Acanthoscelides obtectus (bean seed weevil). F1 interspecific hybrids were recovered by embryo rescue and maintained until flowering. Mostly sterile hybrids were backcrossed twice to common bean cultivar ICA Pijao to recover sufficient fertility...

Study of seed germination-associated genes using Arabidopsis enhancer-trap

Creator:

Liu, Po-Pu

Abstract:

In mature Arabidopsis seeds, the testa (seed coat) is no longer a living tissue. Thus, major sites of gene expression in imbibed seeds are the internal living tissues such as the embryo and the endosperm. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of seed germination, the gene regulation in these two tissues...
