The resistant cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) line LC-95, derived from an accession collected in Ecuador, harbors a natural allele (ol-2) that confers broad-spectrum and recessively inherited resistance to powdery mildew (Oidium neolycopersici). As both the genetic phytopathological characteristics of ol-2-mediated are reminiscent immunity conferred by loss-of-function mlo alleles barley Arabidopsis, we initiated candidate-gene approach clone Ol-2. A Mlo gene (SlMlo1)...
The accurate description of plant biodiversity is utmost importance to efficiently address efforts in conservation genetics and breeding. Herein, we report the successful application a genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) approach chickpea ( L.), resulting characterization cultivated germplasm collection with 3187 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Genetic structure inference, principal component analysis, hierarchical clustering all indicated identification genetic cluster...
Abstract Seed storage protein content of durum wheat ( Triticum turgidum var. ) has an important effect on nutritional value and pasta‐making characteristics. The objective this study was to determine by association with genetic markers the number, chromosomal location, magnitude quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling concentration in kernels. A set 65 recombinant inbred lines (RIs) developed single seed descent from a cross between cultivated cv. ‘Messapia’ (low content) accession...
Cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is one of the oldest domesticated crops and most important grain legumes worldwide. The Mediterranean Basin holds large part biodiversity; however, no genetic structure was defined within gene pool. In this study, we used high-throughput genotyping by sequencing to resolve ex situ collection held at Italian National Research Council. Sequencing a 188-plex genotyping-by-sequencing library bioinformatics treatment data yielded 6,693 single nucleotide...
ABSTRACT Due to rapid global population growth and the resulting significant increase in food demand, world is facing an epidemic of malnutrition. Although yield improvement remains one main targets breeding programs, much attention being paid nutritional aspects crops, including nutrients bioactive compounds that are often important for general human health disease prevention. Phytocompounds such as allergens, antinutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, fatty acids among most classes chemical...
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) has elevated commercial value due to its health appeal, desirable characteristics and quantitatively limited production, thus it become an object of intentional adulteration. As EVOOs on the market might consist a blend varieties or sometimes even mixture oils from different botanical species, array DNA-fingerprinting methods have been developed check varietal composition blend. Starting comparison between publicly available DNA extraction protocols, we set up...
Extensive research in the area of plant innate immunity has increased considerably our understanding molecular mechanisms associated with resistance controlled by a dominant gene. In contrast, little is known about basis underlying conferred quantitative trait loci (QTLs). this study, using interaction tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Oidium neolycopersici, we compared cytological, biochemical and involved both monogenic polygenic resistances gene (Ol-1) three QTLs (Ol-qtls), respectively. Our...
The recessive gene ol-2 confers papilla-associated and race-non-specific resistance to tomato powdery mildew caused by Oidium neolycopersici. In order facilitate marker assisted selection (MAS) in practical breeding programmes, we identified two simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers one cleaved amplified polymorphic (CAPS) which are linked the locus co-dominantly inherited. Aiming provide a base for positional cloning, used large segregating F2 population merge these with all fragment length...
Pasta is a worldwide popular Italian food made exclusively of durum wheat. The choice variety to be used produce pasta at the discretion producer based on peculiar characteristics each cultivar. availability analytical approaches for tracking specific varieties along productive chain becoming increasingly important authenticate products and distinguish between fraudulent activities cross-contaminations during production process. Among different methods, molecular DNA markers are most these...
The differential response of 29 genotypes tomato and wild relatives (Solanum section Lycopersicon species) to cucumber mosaic virus strain Fny (CMV-Fny), alone or in combination with three different satellite RNA (satRNA) variants, allowed the identification four disease phenotype patterns, each including plants that developed very severe symptoms (leaf malformations, top stunting lethal necrosis) remained asymptomatic. No resistance tolerance CMV-Fny was observed, whilst individual host...
After-roast darkening is a defect in macadamia kernel evident only upon roasting that adversely affects quality. was artificially induced 3 cultivars by incubating nut-in-shell of high moisture content (about 22% w/w) at elevated temperatures either sealed or unsealed polyethylene bags before drying to 1.5% moisture. After oil roasting, more from incubated for 24 h greater than equal 47.5°C. At an incubation temperature 50°C the critical period 12 treated bags. In raw exhibit after-roast...
The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many key processes in plants, such as seed germination, seedling growth, and abiotic stress tolerance. In particular, drought signals are transmitted through at least two pathways: one is abscissic (ABA)-dependent, the other ABA-independent. ABA-dependent pathway, increases cellular ABA levels, which induce expression of stress-responsive genes, 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED). memory can be stored short-term, depending on half-life...
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a precious and healthy ingredient of Mediterranean cuisine. Due to its high nutritional value, the interest consumers in composition EVOO constantly increasing, making it product particularly exposed fraud. Therefore, there need properly valorize high-quality protect from fraudulent manipulations safeguard consumer choices. In our study, we used straightforward easy method assess molecular traceability 28 commercial samples based on use SSR markers. A lack...
