Effect of genetic background on the stability of sunflower fatty acid composition in different high oleic mutations
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-08)
The effect of genetic background on the stability of fatty acid composition in sunflower near isogenic lines (NILs) carrying high-oleic Pervenets (P) or high-oleic NM1 mutations was studied. The materials were field-tested ...
Near-isogenic wheat lines carrying altered function alleles of the Rht-1 genes exhibit differential responses to potassium deprivation
(Elsevier Ireland, 2012-04)
Most of the elements involved in the integration of signals of low external K+-supply into a physiological response pathway remain essentially unknown. The aim of this work was to study the influence exerted by DELLA ...
Tomato near isogenic lines to unravel the genetic diversity of S. pimpinellifolium LA0722 for fruit quality and shelf life breeding
(Springer, 2020-07)
The introgression of genes from the wild species S. pimpinellifolium has the potential to improve tomato commercial varieties for numerous fruit quality traits. One of particular interest for fresh-market tomatoes is long ...
Allelic differences in a vacuolar invertase affect Arabidopsis growth at early plant development
(Oxford University Press, 2016-07)
Improving carbon fixation in order to enhance crop yield is a major goal in plant sciences. By quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, it has been demonstrated that a vacuolar invertase (vac-Inv) plays a key role in ...
CRISPR/Cas9 Editing for Gaucher Disease Modelling
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-05-05)
Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the acid β-glucosidase gene (GBA1). Besides causing GD, GBA1 mutations constitute the main genetic risk factor for developing ...
Structural rearrangements in wheat (1BS)–rye (1RS) recombinant chromosomes affect gene dosage and root length
(John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2020-11)
Good understanding of the genes controlling root development is required to engineer root systems better adapted to different soil types. In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the 1RS.1BL wheat–rye (Secale cereale L.) translocation ...
Wheat Ppd-1 allelic combination modulates photoperiod sensitivity
(Sociedad Argentina de Fisiología Vegetal, 2018-11)
ABSTRACT: a model linking Ppd-1 allelic composition to photoperiod response curve would allow replacing expensive and time consuming phenologic trials. In Ppd-1 near isogenic lines grown under different photoperiods we ...
Polo-like kinase 1 inhibition as a therapeutic approach to selectively target BRCA1-deficient cancer cells by synthetic lethality induction
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2019-03)
Purpose: BRCA1 and BRCA2 deficiencies are widespread drivers of human cancers that await the development of targeted therapies. We aimed to identify novel synthetic lethal relationships with therapeutic potential using ...
