We have isolated seven allelic recessive Arabidopsis mutants, designated superroot (sur1-1 to sur1-7), displaying several abnormalities reminiscent of auxin effects. These characteristics include small and epinastic cotyledons, an elongated hypocotyl in which the connection between stele cortical epidermal cells disintegrates, development excess adventitious lateral roots, a reduced number leaves, absence inflorescence. When germinated dark, sur1 mutants did not develop apical hook...
Abstract Epigenetic variation is likely to contribute the phenotypic plasticity and adaptative capacity of plant species, may be especially important for long‐lived organisms with complex life cycles, including forest trees. Diverse environmental stresses hybridization/polyploidization events can create reversible heritable epigenetic marks that transmitted subsequent generations as a form molecular “memory”. changes might also ability plants colonize or persist in variable environments. In...
Abstract Populus deltoides, P. nigra, and trichocarpa are the most important species for poplar breeding programs worldwide. In addition, has become a model fundamental research on trees. Linkage maps were constructed these three by analyzing progeny of two controlled crosses sharing same female parent, deltoides cv. S9-2 × nigra Ghoy V24. The two-way pseudotestcross mapping strategy was used to construct maps. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers that segregated 1:1 form...
The importance of natural selection for shaping adaptive trait differentiation among populations allogamous tree species has long been recognized. Determining the molecular basis local adaptation remains largely unresolved, and respective roles demography in population structure are actively debated. Using a multilocus scan that aims to detect outliers from simulated neutral expectations, we analyzed patterns nucleotide diversity genetic at 11 polymorphic candidate genes drought stress...
Fruit size and seedlessness are highly relevant traits in many fruit crop species, both primary targets of breeding programs for table grapes. In this work we performed a quantitative genetic analysis an F 1 segregating population derived from the cross between classical seeded ( Vitis vinifera L. ‘Dominga’) newly bred seedless (‘Autumn Seedless’) cultivar. was scored as berry weight (BW), considered seed fresh (SFW) number seeds traces (SN) per berry. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) BW...
Summary Maritime pine ( P inus pinaster A it.) is a widely distributed conifer species in S outhwestern E urope and one of the most advanced models for research. In current work, comprehensive characterization maritime transcriptome was performed using combination two different next‐generation sequencing platforms, 454 I llumina. De novo assembly provided catalogue 26 020 unique transcripts trees collection 9641 full‐length c DNA s. Quality validated by RT ‐ PCR amplification selected...
Phylogenetic relationships among seed plant taxa, especially within the gymnosperms, remain contested. In contrast to angiosperms, for which several genomic, transcriptomic and phylogenetic resources are available, there few, if any, molecular markers that allow broad comparisons gymnosperm species. With few genomes recently obtained transcriptomes in gymnosperms a great addition identifying single-copy gene families as phylogenomic analysis plants. Taking advantage of an increasing number...
Genetic transformation of mature trees is difficult because adult tissues are recalcitrant to Agrobacterium tumefaciens infection and transgenic events less competent for regeneration. We have shown that reinvigoration allows manipulation the vegetative phase increase potential regeneration without loss competence flowering fruiting. To produce plants from clementine mandarin (Citrus clementina hort. ex Tanaka), we optimized conditions source material both vitro in vitro. Grafting buds on...
There is an increasing interest in understanding the role of epigenetic variability forest species and how it may contribute to their rapid adaptation changing environments. In this study we have conducted a genome-wide analysis cytosine methylation pattern Pinus pinea, characterized by very low levels genetic variation remarkable degree phenotypic plasticity. DNA profiles different vegetatively propagated trees from representative natural Spanish populations P. pinea were analyzed with...

Abstract Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most abundant source of genetic variation among individuals a species. New genotyping technologies allow examining hundreds to thousands SNPs in single reaction for wide range applications such as diversity analysis, linkage mapping, fine QTL association studies, marker-assisted or genome-wide selection. In this paper, we evaluated potential highly-multiplexed SNP mapping maritime pine ( Pinus pinaster Ait.), main conifer...
Abstract Maritime pine provides essential ecosystem services in the south‐western M editerranean basin, where it covers around 4 million ha. Its scattered distribution over a range of environmental conditions makes an ideal forest tree species for studies local adaptation and evolutionary responses to climatic change. Highly multiplexed single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) genotyping arrays are increasingly used study genetic variation living organisms practical applications plant animal...
Understanding the consequences of local adaptation at genomic diversity is a central goal in evolutionary genetics natural populations. In species with large continuous geographical distributions phenotypic signal frequently clear, but genetic basis often remains elusive. We examined patterns Pinus sylvestris, keystone many Eurasian ecosystems huge distribution range and decades forestry research showing that it locally adapted to vast environmental conditions. Making P. sylvestris an even...
