Differential expression of fructan 1-exohydrolase genes involved in inulin biodegradation in chicory (Cichorium intybus) cultivars Ghent University
Fructan 1-exohydrolase (1-FEH; FEH) enzymes are involved in inulin degradation in the roots of chicory. rehgiH FEH expression in cold temperatures can decrease the quality and the quantity of the inulin. This is the case at the end of the growing season and during cold storage. Little is known at molecular level whether the expression levels of fructan 1-exohydrolase genes vary among chicory cultivars, especially during cold storage of roots. ...
eQTL mapping of candidate genes for flower colour as a model for genetical genomics in Azalea Ghent University
By its production of approximately 40 million plants per year, azalea (Rhododendron simsii hybrids) is the most important flowering pot plant in Belgium . Flower colour is one of the most important features for azalea breeding. In azalea, flower colour is inherited as a semi-qualitative trait and is mainly determined by differences in anthocyanin and flavonol levels. Its segregation pattern could be explained by a two-gene model (Heursel and ...
