    Genome assembly with in vitro proximity ligation data and whole-genome triplication in lettuce

    Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is a major crop and a member of the large, highly successful Compositae family of flowering plants. Here we present a reference assembly for the species and family. This was generated usi...

    An intra-specific linkage map of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and genetic analysis of postharvest discolouration traits

    Minimally processed salad packs often suffer from discolouration on cut leaf edges within a few days after harvest. This limits shelf life of the product and results in high wastage. Recombinant inbred lines (...

    Map** a dominant negative mutation for triforine sensitivity in lettuce and its use as a selectable marker for detecting hybrids

    Some lettuce cultivars are highly sensitive to triforine, an inhibitor of sterol biosynthesis found in some commercial systemic fungicides. First symptoms of a sensitive reaction are usually observed within 24...

    A gene encoding an abscisic acid biosynthetic enzyme (LsNCED4) collocates with the high temperature germination locus Htg6.1 in lettuce (Lactuca sp.)

    Thermoinhibition, or failure of seeds to germinate when imbibed at warm temperatures, can be a significant problem in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) production. The reliability of stand establishment would be improv...

    Association map** and marker-assisted selection of the lettuce dieback resistance gene Tvr1

    Lettuce (Lactuca saliva L.) is susceptible to dieback, a soilborne disease caused by two viruses from the family Tombusviridae. Susceptibility to dieback is widespread in romaine and leaf-type lettuce, while mode...

    Quantitative trait loci associated with seed and seedling traits in Lactuca

    Seed and seedling traits related to germination and stand establishment are important in the production of cultivated lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Six seed and seedling traits segregating in a L. sativa cv. Salin...

    Application of the TRAP technique to lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) genoty**

    To demonstrate the applicability of the target region amplification polymorphism (TRAP) marker technique to lettuce genoty**, we fingerprinted 53 lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivars and six wild accessions (t...
