Abstract:
... The goal of the American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) is the restoration of the American chestnut as a viable species to its native range. Toward that end, TACF is using conventional backcross breeding to introgress blight resistance from Chinese into American chestnut. The identification of species-specific molecular genetic markers could potentially accelerate recovery of the American type by perm ...

Subject:
DNA; DNA primers; Zizania latifolia; blight; chromosomes; clones; disease resistance; genes; libraries; nucleotide sequences; polymerase chain reaction; sequence analysis; transgenic plants
Abstract:
... Based on the sequence of a resistance gene analog FZ14 derived from Zizania latifolia (Griseb.), a pair of specific PCR primers FZ14P₁/FZ14P₂ was designed to isolate candidate disease resistance gene. The pooled-PCR approach was adopted using the primer pair to screen a genomic transformation-competent artificial chromosome (TAC) library derived from Z. latifolia. A positive TAC clone (ZR1) wa ...

Arachis hypogaea; peanuts; disease resistance; Sclerotinia minor; blight; fungal diseases of plants; genetic markers; microsatellite repeats; polymerase chain reaction; DNA primers; genotype
Abstract:
... The production of cultivated peanut, an important agronomic crop throughout the United States and the world, is consistently threatened by various diseases and pests. Sclerotinia minor Jagger (S. minor), the causal agent of Sclerotinia blight, is a major threat to peanut production in the Southwestern US, Virginia and North Carolina. Although information on the variability of morphological traits ...

4. Towards Efficient Isolation of R Gene Orthologs from Multiple Genotypes: Optimization of Long Range-PCR

Author:
Sanchez, M.J.; Bradeen, J.M.

Molecular breeding 2006 v.17 no.2 pp. 137-148

Subject:
Solanum bulbocastanum; genes; loci; disease resistance; blight; Phytophthora infestans; fungal diseases of plants; polymerase chain reaction; DNA; extraction; DNA primers
Abstract:
... Resistance (R) genes and the proteins they encode are key components of the defense system of plants. The exploration of R gene diversity enables the study of R gene evolution and may facilitate the isolation of new and functional alleles. Most cloned R genes occur in clusters of related sequences. Thus, the development of a tool for reliable recovery of orthologous R gene sequences to the exclusi ...
