- Abstract:
- ... Orange carrot (Daucus carota L.) is one of the richest sources of naturally occurring β-carotene while red and yellow carrot varieties contain large quantities of lycopene and lutein. The human body utilizes carotenoids, particularly β-carotene (provitamin A) as a precursor for the production of retinol, which is imperative for normal vision. Further, lycopene has been associated with a lowered ri ...

- Abstract:
- ... Domesticated carrots, Daucus carota subsp. sativus, are the richest source of b-carotene in the US diet, which, when consumed, is converted into vitamin A, an essential component of eye health and immunity. The Y2 locus plays a significant role in beta-carotene accumulation in carrot roots, but a candidate gene has not been identified. To advance our understanding of this locus, the genetic basis ...

- Abstract:
- ... We here summarize and integrate results from recent publications examining the species boundaries, phylogeny, and domestication in the genus Daucus, and outline our future research goals directed towards the goal of producing a taxonomic monograph of the genus. In one study, 94 nuclear orthologs were used to analyze phylogenetic structure in 92 accessions of 13 Daucus species, and an additional 15 ...

- Abstract:
- ... Megapodes are characterized by using means other than body heat to incubate their eggs. The Maleo Macrocephalon maleo is endemic to Sulawesi where it is Endangered, and lays its eggs in pits excavated in soil heated by geothermal sources. A novel method used to incubate Maleo eggs at the Bronx Zoo/Wildlife Conservation Society, NY, USA, is reported here. Using a forced‐air hatcher, the eggs rest o ...

- Abstract:
- ... The main objective of the current research was to study the reproductive behaviour of artificial triploid potato hybrids between wild Solanum commersonii and the cultivated potato Solanum tuberosum. When used in 3x × 2x crosses, triploids gave aneuploid progenies with somatic chromosome number ranging from 29 to 36. Fertilization fitness data suggested that the survival rate of gametes produced by ...

- Abstract:
- ... In recent years there has been an effort towards the development of genomic resources in carrot. The number of available sequences for carrot in public databases has increased recently. This has allowed the design of SSRs markers, COS markers and a high-throughput SNP assay for genotyping. Additional molecular tools include the first high-throughput DArT array and the full sequence of organelle ge ...
