Thesis-
Genetic Analysis of the diplospory region in dandelion (Taraxacum
officinale)
|
|
Apomixis, asexual
production of seeds, is controlled by diplospory, parthenogenesis, and
autonomous endosperm development. Diplospory is manipulated by Diplosporous
gene (DIP). For studying the DIP gene in Taraxacum, we
are going to use FISH technology in order to locate DIP on
chromosomes. The approach starts from SCAR markers, which are tightly
linked to DIP gene. The SCAR markers are used as probes for
screening a Taraxacum genomic DNA phage library, which can provide us
suitable DNA fragments (around 15 KB) for FISH technology. In addition,
we will also use FISH to study the methylation on DIP region in triploid
apomic plants (Ddd). We expect the methylation will be more on
heterochromatin, furthermore, the DIP region in the non-apomic plants (dd),
and two of the chromosomes (d/d) which do not express DIP in apomic
plants (Ddd).
