Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the domesticated apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.)

Riccardo Velasco, +90 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that a relatively recent (>50 million years ago) genome-wide duplication has resulted in the transition from nine ancestral chromosomes to 17 chromosomes in the Pyreae, which partly support the monophyly of the ancestral paleohexaploidy of eudicots.
Journal ArticleDOI

pGreen: a versatile and flexible binary Ti vector for Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation.

TL;DR: The pGreen plasmid system allows any arrangement of selectable marker and reporter gene at the right and left T-DNA borders without compromising the choice of restriction sites for cloning, since the pGreen cloning sites are based on the well-known pBluescript general vector plasmids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient expression vectors for functional genomics, quantification of promoter activity and RNA silencing in plants

TL;DR: In this article, a series of plasmid vectors for transient gene expression using Agrobacterium, infiltrated into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, are described and compared to conventional binary vectors for stable transformation such as transformation selection genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of woodland strawberry ( Fragaria vesca )

Vladimir Shulaev, +71 more
- 01 Feb 2011 - 
TL;DR: New phylogenetic analysis of 154 protein-coding genes suggests that assignment of Populus to Malvidae, rather than Fabidae, is warranted, and macrosyntenic relationships between Fragaria and Prunus predict a hypothetical ancestral Rosaceae genome that had nine chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Red colouration in apple fruit is due to the activity of the MYB transcription factor, MdMYB10

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the transcript levels of the anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in a red-fleshed apple compared with a white-fleshhed cultivar.
