Fruit Development, Structure, and Function01:58

Fruit Development, Structure, and Function

25.0K
Fruits form from a mature flower ovary. As seeds develop from the ovules contained within, the ovary wall undergoes a series of complex changes to form fruit. In some fruits, such as soybeans, the ovary wall dries; in other fruits, such as grapes, it remains fleshy. In some cases, organs other than the ovary contribute to fruit formation; such fruits are called accessory fruits.

Genetic Screens

5.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Transgenic Plants02:50

Transgenic Plants

8.5K
Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

Light Acquisition02:16

Light Acquisition

9.4K
In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...

Area of Science:

  • Plant genomics
  • Fruit tree genetics
  • Molecular biology

Background:

  • Peach (Prunus persica) is a key model species in the Rosaceae family, crucial for understanding fruit tree development.
  • Developing an extensive expressed sequence tag (EST) database is vital for identifying and cloning genes related to fruit and tree growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a comprehensive Prunus EST database for gene discovery.
  • To establish a framework for physical and transcript mapping in peach.

Main Methods:

  • Generated 9,984 high-quality ESTs from peach fruit mesocarp cDNA.
  • Assembled and annotated ESTs to define a unigene set of 3,842 sequences.
  • Anchored bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones to the genetic map and developed a transcript map using EST hybridization.

Main Results:

  • A putative peach unigene set of 3,842 ESTs was defined.
  • 24.3% of sequences lacked significant homology in GenBank nr databases.
  • 11.2% of ESTs were localized on the genetic map through hybridization to genetically anchored BACs, revealing gene clustering.

Conclusions:

  • The developed EST database and transcript map provide a valuable resource for peach genetic and genomic research.
  • The findings facilitate gene discovery and positional cloning for traits related to fruit and tree development in Prunus species.
  • The data are integrated into the Genome Database for Rosaceae (GDR) for broader accessibility.
