(75) Quantifying the Vernalization Response of Dianthus gratianopolitanus `Bath's Pink'

Living in isolation – population structure, reproduction, and genetic variation of the endangered plant species Dianthus gratianopolitanus (Cheddar pink)

The endangered plant species Dianthus gratianopolitanus exhibits a highly fragmented distribution range comprising many isolated populations. Based upon this pattern of distribution, we selected a study region in Switzerland with a lower magnitude of isolation (Swiss Jura) and another study region in Germany with a higher degree of isolation (Franconian Jura). In each region, we chose ten popul...

Vernalization response of wild chickpea

• Response to low temperature during early growth in cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and its wild progenitor C. reticulatum was investigated to clarify the evolutionary processes under domestication in this crop. • Parental lines and their F2 and F3 progeny were exposed to cold treatment (4°C) for 30°d after seed imbibition and compared with controls. • Cold treatment caused a 19-d advanc...

Vernalization

fixity — the behavior of fossil organisms will be similar to the behavior of their extant descendants at the generic level — my wife and I re-constructed the type of Tertiary forest that existed in Hispaniola based on plants and animals in Dominican amber. We concluded that the amber forest in Hispaniola was similar to today’s tropical moist forest, but was much more diverse and contained a num...

Gene Expression Analysis of Pak Choi in Response to Vernalization

Pak choi is a seed vernalization-type plant whose vernalization mechanism is currently unclear. Therefore, it is critical to discover genes related to vernalization and research its functions during vernalization in pak choi. Here, the gene expression profiles in the shoot apex were analyzed after low temperature treatment using high-throughput RNA sequencing technology. The results showed that...
