Morphological and chemical differences between plant genera influence phyllosphere microbial populations, but the factors driving within-species variation in populations are poorly understood. Twenty-six lettuce accessions were used to investigate controlling bacterial populations. physiochemical characteristics of plants compared, community structure diversity investigated using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) profiling 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. Plant...
BACKGROUND: Nitrate accumulates in plants response to N supply, aerial environment (predominantly light), and genotype. This paper characterises the effects of genotype, environment, their interactions on nitrate accumulation by 24 cultivated wild lettuce accessions grown hydroponically winter summer. The results will inform future strategies for selecting low-nitrate varieties. RESULTS: A preliminary study which two were sampled over time showed largest differences between cultivars...
Abstract Lettuce discolouration is a key post-harvest trait. The major enzyme controlling oxidative has long been considered to be polyphenol oxidase (PPO) however, levels of PPO and subsequent development symptoms have not always correlated. predominance latent state the in plant tissues combined with substrate activation contemporaneous suicide inactivation mechanisms are as potential explanations for this phenomenon. Leaf tissue physical properties associated these may influenced by...
Salmonella can bind to the leaves of salad crops including lettuce and survive for commercially relevant periods. Previous studies have shown that younger are more susceptible colonization than older levels dependent on both bacterial serovar cultivar. In this study, we investigated ability two Lactuca sativa cultivars (Saladin Iceberg) an accession wild (L. serriola) support attachment enterica Senftenberg, first fifth sixth true associations between cultivar-dependent variation in plant...
A unique, global onion diversity set was assembled, genotyped and phenotyped for beneficial traits. Accessions with strong basal rot resistance increased seedling vigour were identified along associated markers. Conserving biodiversity is critical safeguarding future crop production. Onion (Allium cepa L.) a globally important very large (16 Gb per 1C) genome which has not been sequenced. While onions are self-fertile, they suffer from severe inbreeding depression as such highly heterozygous...
Abstract We have isolated the cDNA of gene PaLAX1 from a wild cherry tree (Prunus avium). The and its product are highly similar in sequences to both cDNAs corresponding protein products AUX/LAX-type genes, coding for putative auxin influx carriers. prepared characterized transformed Nicotiana tabacum Arabidopsis thaliana plants carrying PaLAX1. proved that constitutive overexpression is accompanied by changes content distribution free indole-3-acetic acid, major endogenous auxin. increase...
Abstract Key message We demonstrate genetic variation for quantitative resistance against important fungal pathogens in lettuce and its wild relatives, map loci conferring predict key molecular mechanisms using transcriptome profiling. Lactuca sativa L. (lettuce) is an leafy vegetable crop grown consumed globally. Chemicals are routinely used to control major pathogens, including the causal agents of grey mould ( Botrytis cinerea ) drop Sclerotinia sclerotiorum . With increasing prevalence...
BACKGROUND: The causes of the natural variation in nitrate accumulation and associated traits are studied using a diverse population 48 mature lettuce accessions grown hydroponically winter summer seasons. Information on effects genotype, environment their interactions will inform future selection strategies for production low-nitrate varieties more suited to meeting EU requirements harvested produce. RESULTS: genotype (G), (E) G × E were all significant, with concentrations lower but...
Domesticated lettuce varieties encompass much morphological variation across a range of crop type groups, with large collections cultivars and landrace accessions maintained in genebanks. Additional not captured during domestication, present ancestral wild relatives, represents potentially rich source alleles that can deliver to sustainable production. However, these are difficult costly screen for many agronomically important traits. In this paper, we describe the generation diversity...
Climate change represents a serious threat to global agriculture, necessitating the development of more environmentally resilient crops safeguard future food production. The effects climate are appearing include higher frequency extreme weather events and increased day-to-day variability. As such, which able cope with short-term environmental stress, in addition those that tolerant longer term stress conditions required . It is becoming apparent hitherto relatively little studied process...
Brassica oleracea includes a number of important crop types such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and kale. Current climate conditions weather patterns are causing significant losses in these crops, meaning that new cultivars with improved tolerance one or more abiotic stress must be sought. In this study, genetically fixed B. lines belonging to Diversity Fixed Foundation Set (DFFS) were assayed for their response seedling stage-imposed drought, flood, salinity, heat cold stress.Significant...
