Quantitative trait map** of plant architecture in two BC1F2 populations of Sorghum Bicolor × S. halepense and comparisons to two other sorghum populations
Comparing populations derived, respectively, from polyploid Sorghum halepense and its progenitors improved knowledge of plant architecture and showed that S. halepense harbors genetic novelty of potential value f...

Open AccessRepeated polyploidization of Gossypium genomes and the evolution of spinnable cotton fibres
The Gossypium genus is used to investigate emergent consequences of polyploidy in cotton species; comparative genomic analyses reveal a complex evolutionary history including interactions among subgenomes that re...

Open AccessA physical map of Brassica oleracea shows complexity of chromosomal changes following recursive paleopolyploidizations
Evolution of the Brassica species has been recursively affected by polyploidy events, and comparison to their relative, Arabidopsis thaliana, provides means to explore their genomic complexity.

Open AccessA draft physical map of a D-genome cotton species (Gossypium raimondii)
Genetically anchored physical maps of large eukaryotic genomes have proven useful both for their intrinsic merit and as an adjunct to genome sequencing. Cultivated tetraploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and G. ba...

Functional dissection of drought-responsive gene expression patterns in Cynodon dactylon L.
Water deficit is one of the main abiotic factors that affect plant productivity in subtropical regions. To identify genes induced during the water stress response in Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon), cDNA macroarr...

Chromosomal location and gene paucity of the male specific region on papaya Y chromosome
Sex chromosomes in flowering plants evolved recently and many of them remain homomorphic, including those in papaya. We investigated the chromosomal location of papaya’s small male specific region of the herma...
