Allele-Specific, Bidirectional Silencing of an Alcohol Dehydrogenase Gene in Different Organs of Interspecific Diploid Cotton Hybrids

From: Genetics | Date: December 1, 2005| Author: Wendel, Jonathan F; Adams, Keith L | Copyright information

ABSTRACT

Interspecific hybridization is a common and important process that generates phenotypic novelty and can lead to hybrid speciation as well as to changes in gene expression. Using two different interspecific cotton (Gossypium) diploid hybrids, we show organ-specific, bidirectional allelic silencing at a heterozygous Adh locus, with alternate alleles being silenced in leaves and many floral organs, respectively. These results show that developmental regulation of gene expression ...

Gene expression: better tools: more complex results.(Cover story)
Bioscience Technology ; Gene expression has become a mainstream technique in biology, medicine, and drug development. Broadly speaking, gene expression comes in two flavors: analytical and functional. The former refers to detecting and quantifying genes, especially by comparing two samples (treated/untreated,

Nonadditive Gene Expression in Diploid and Triploid Hybrids of Maize
Genetics ; ABSTRACT The molecular basis of hybrid vigor (heterosis) has remained unknown despite the importance of this phenomenon in evolution and in practical breeding programs. To formulate a molecular basis of heterosis, an understanding of gene expression in inbred and hybrid states is needed. In this
