Project description:Compare gene expression profiles of Leymus negatively orthogeotropic and diageotropic meristems in a similar genetic background, identify gene expression polymorphisms specifically associated with the Leymus LG3a rhizome QTL by bulk segregate analysis, and identify other possible genes specifically involved in branch angle differences of otherwise similar negatively orthogeotropic and diageotropic meristems.
Project description:A comparison of overall gene expression profiles of Leymus negatively orthogeotropic (NOGT) and diageotropic (DGT) meristems in a similar genetic background to identify gene expression polymorphisms specifically associated with the Leymus LG3a rhizome QTL by bulk segregate analysis, and identify other possible genes specifically involved in branch angle differences of otherwise similar DGT and NOGT meristems.
