Breeding tomato for increased fruit phenolics

Creator:

Boches, Peter S.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to develop tools and germplasm for the production of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) with high fruit phenolics without the use of genetic engineering. A candidate gene analysis was undertaken to identify genes regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in tomato fruit (Aft, Abg, atv, and Purple Smudge)....

Small RNA pathways in plants

Creator:

Montgomery, Taiowa A.

Abstract:

miRNA-guided cleavage initiates entry of primary transcripts into the trans-acting siRNA (tasiRNA) biogenesis pathway involving RNA-DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE6 (RDR6), DICER-LIKE 4 (DCL4), and SUPPRESSOR OF GENE SILENCING3 (SGS3). Arabidopsis thaliana TAS1 and TAS2 families yield tasiRNA that form through miR173- guided initiation cleavage on the 5’ side of the siRNA-generating...

The influence of pollinators on the maintenance of mixed mating in a population of the blue columbine, Aquilegia coerulea (Ranunculaceae)

Creator:

Sweet, Heather R.

Abstract:

Pollination ecology may play an important role in the maintenance of selfing in populations of self-compatible hermaphroditic plants where both selfing and outcrossing occur (mixed mating). Behavior and abundance of pollinators can influence the two major modes of selfing; autogamy (selfing within a flower) and geitonogamy (selfing between flowers on...
