The development and analysis of sequence-based DNA markers in sunflower for DNA fingerprinting and candidate gene analysis

Creator:

Hongtrakul, Vipa

Abstract:

Molecular DNA markers have become widely used in all areas of genetic research. The objectives of this thesis were to develop polymorphic markers in sunflower and utilize the markers for genetic and candidate gene analyses. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to estimate genetic similarities and assess the...

DNA fingerprinting and genome mapping in meadowfoam

Creator:

Katengam, Sureeporn

Abstract:

Marker information in the new oilseed crop, meadowfoam, is limited. Molecular markers to facilitate meadowfoam breeding and cultivar improvement are not available. The knowledge of genetic relationships among recent germplasm is not known. The objectives of this study were (i) to gain an understanding of genetic diversity and relationship patterns...

Molecular mechanisms underlying the high oleic acid phenotype in sunflower

Creator:

Schuppert, Gunnar Felix

Abstract:

Wildtype sunflower typically produces 12-24% oleic acid (18:1) and 70-82% linoleic acid (18:2). High-oleic sunflower, by contrast, produces up to 80-94% oleic acid. The monounsaturated oleic acid has a greater oxidative stability than the polyunsaturated linoleic acid, predominant in wildtype sunflower, and has greater nutritional benefits than polyunsaturated and saturated...
