An Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene silencing system for functional analysis in grapevine
An efficient agroinfiltration-based gene silencing assay was established to evaluate candidate genes likely to be involved in resistance to powdery mildew (Uncinula necator) in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). Func...

Inheritance of Fusarium wilt resistance introgressed from Solanum aethiopicum Gilo and Aculeatum groups into cultivated eggplant (S. melongena) and development of associated PCR-based markers
The two eggplant relatives Solanum aethiopicum gr. Gilo and Solanum aethiopicum gr. Aculeatum (=Solanum integrifolium) carry resistance to the fungal wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae, a...

Current status in production and utilization of dihaploids from somatic hybrids between eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) and its wild relatives
The major constrains for practical exploitation of the somatic hybrids between eggplant and its wild relatives have been their sterility and tetraploidy which prevented their incorporation into breeding progra...

High expression level of a gene coding for a chloroplastic amino acid selective channel protein is correlated to cold acclimation in cereals
A cold-regulated gene (cor tmc-ap3) coding for a putative chloroplastic amino acid selective channel protein was isolated from cold-treated barley leaves combining the differential display and the 5′-RACE tech...
