Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world's most important non-grain food crop and central to global security. It clonally propagated, highly heterozygous, autotetraploid, suffers acute inbreeding depression. Here we use a homozygous doubled-monoploid potato clone sequence assemble 86% of 844-megabase genome. We predict 39,031 protein-coding genes present evidence for at least two genome duplication events indicative palaeopolyploid origin. As first an asterid, reveals 2,642 specific this...
The genome of potato, a major global food crop, was recently sequenced. work presented here details the integration potato reference (DM) with new sequence-tagged site marker-based linkage map and other physical genetic maps closely related species tomato. Primary anchoring DM assembly accomplished by use diploid segregating population, which genotyped several types molecular markers to construct ~936 cM comprising 2469 marker loci. In silico approaches used from genotype RH89-039-16 (RH)...
Most published genome sequences are drafts, and most dominated by computational gene prediction. Draft genomes typically incorporate considerable sequence data that not assigned to chromosomes, predicted genes without quality confidence measures. The current Actinidia chinensis (kiwifruit) 'Hongyang' draft has 164 Mb of unassigned pseudo-chromosomes, omissions have been identified in the models.A second an A. (genotype Red5) was fully sequenced. This new resulted a 554.0 assembly with all...
Background The genetic regulation of flower color has been widely studied, notably as a character used by Mendel and his predecessors in the study inheritance pea. Methodology/Principal Findings We genome sequence model legumes, together with their known synteny to pea identify candidate genes for A A2 loci then combination mapping, fast neutron mutant analysis, allelic diversity, transcript quantification transient expression complementation studies confirm identity candidates....
Genomic methods for identifying causative variants trait loci applicable to a wide range of germplasm are required plant biologists and breeders understand the genetic control variation.
Bulb onion ( Allium cepa L.) is a globally significant crop, but the structure of genetic variation within and among populations poorly understood. We broadly surveyed in cultivated germplasm using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers sequenced regions flanking expressed tag (EST)-SSRs to develop single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Samples from 89 inbred open-pollinated (OP) bulb wide geographical adaptation four related L. accessions were genotyped with 56 EST-SSR genomic SSR...
Blueberry ( Vaccinium spp.) is one of the most economically important berry crops worldwide. Validation genetic mapping studies often hindered by asynchronous marker technology. The development a standardized genotyping platform that targets specific set polymorphic loci can be practical solution to unify scientific and breeding community toward blueberry improvement. objective this study was develop evaluate targeted for cultivated blueberries affordable, reproducible, sufficiently high...

Abstract Inter-specific hybridisation between natural populations within the genus Actinidia is a common phenomenon and has been used in breeding programmes. Hybridisation species increases diversity of populations, incorporating new desirable traits into potential cultivars. We explored genomic prediction breeding, focusing on closely related arguta melanandra . investigated selection by analysing four quantitative across intra-specific A. crosses inter-specific The continuous distributions...
Abstract In breeding programmes, accurate estimation of values is crucial for selecting superior genotypes. Traditional methods rely on phenotypic observations and pedigree information to estimate variance components heritability. However, errors can significantly affect the accuracy these estimates, especially in long-lived perennial vines. This study evaluates effect value predictions kiwiberry explores benefits using genomic selection. We applied Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP)...
Abstract Background Although modern sequencing technologies permit the ready detection of numerous DNA sequence variants in any organisms, converting such information to PCR-based genetic markers is hampered by a lack simple, scalable tools. Onion an example under-researched crop with complex, heterozygous genome where genome-based research has previously been hindered limited resources and markers. Results We report development generic tools for large-scale web-based marker design Galaxy...
GSL1 and GSL2, Gibberellin Stimulated-Like proteins (also known as Snakin-1 Snakin-2), are cysteine-rich peptides from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) with antimicrobial properties. Similar in other species have been implicated diverse biological processes hypothesised to play a role several aspects of plant development, responses biotic or abiotic stress through their participation hormone crosstalk, redox homeostasis. To help resolve the roles GSL2 we undertaken an depth analysis structure...
Polyploidy is a key driver of significant evolutionary changes in plant species. The genus Actinidia (kiwifruit) exhibits multiple ploidy levels, which contribute to novel fruit traits, high yields and resistance the canker-causing dieback disease incited by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) biovar 3. However, genetic mechanism for Psa observed polyploid kiwifruit not yet known. In this study we performed detailed analysis tetraploid chinensis var. population derived from cross...

Knowledge of haplotypes, i.e. phased and ordered marker alleles on a chromosome, is essential to answer many questions in genetics genomics. By generating short pieces DNA sequence, high-throughput modern sequencing technologies make estimation haplotypes possible for single individuals. In polyploids, however, haplotype methods usually require deep coverage achieve sufficient accuracy. This often renders sequencing-based approaches too costly be applied large populations needed studies...
Tuber bruising in tetraploid potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) is a trait of economic importance, as it affects tubers' fitness for sale. Understanding the genetic components affecting tuber key step developing potato lines with increased resistance to bruising. As setting renders analyses more complex, there still much learn about this complex phenotype. Here, we used capture sequencing data on panel half-sibling populations from breeding programme perform genome-wide association analysis (GWAS)...
Genomic selection (GS) is a breeding tool which rapidly gaining popularity for plant breeding, particularly traits that are difficult to measure. One such trait ascochyta blight resistance in pea (Pisum sativum L.), assay because it strongly influenced by the environment and depends on natural occurrence of multiple pathogens. Here we report study efficacy GS predicting pea, as represented disease score (ASC), using nucleotide polymorphism data acquired through genotyping-by-sequencing. The...
Abstract Isothiocyanates are a class of naturally occuring chemopreventive agents known to be effective at triggering apoptosis. In this study, we show that whereas overexpression the oncoprotein Bcl-2 renders Jurkat T-lymphoma cells resistant range cytotoxic agents, phenethyl isothiocyanate is able overcome inhibitory action and trigger A 50-fold increase in expression shifted dose-response curve, with an LD50 from 7 15 μmol/L, but there was still complete loss cell viability doses excess...
