Breeding tools for Cuphea : An updated genetic linkage map and fatty acid mutant candidate gene analysis

Creator:

Powers, Carol Anne

Abstract:

Medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are important industrial feedstocks for soaps, detergents and surfactants. Interspecific lines derived from Cuphea lanceolata and Cup hea viscosissima are being domesticated as a temperate source of MCFAs. These species also serve as model organisms for understanding the biosynthesis of MCFAs in seeds. Various markers...

Jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host) genetic diversity and hybridization with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Creator:

Gandhi, Harish Tulshiramji

Abstract:

Jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host; 2n=4x=28; CCDD) is an agriculturally important species both as a weed and as a genetic resource for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.; 2n=6x=42; AABBDD) improvement. In order to better understand the evolution of this species, the diversity of Ae. cylindrica was evaluated along with its progenitors,...
