Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was developed more than 30 years ago and has
been the most paradigm-changing technique in cytogenetic research. FISH has been used …

Abstract Development of a eukaryotic karyotype relies on identification of individual
chromosomes in the species, which has been accomplished only in a limited... Developing …

Potato is the third most important food crop in the world and is crucial to ensure food
security. However, increasing biotic and abiotic stresses jeopardize its stable production …

Abstract Background and Aims The genus Solanum includes important vegetable crops and
their wild relatives. Introgression of their useful traits into elite cultivars requires effective …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are important sources of genetic diversity and are widely
used as markers in genetics and molecular breeding. In this study, we examined four potato …

Soluble sugar content in seeds is an important quality trait of soybean. In this study, 57
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to soluble sugar contents in soybean seeds were …

Wild potato relatives are rich sources of desirable traits for introgressive hybridisation into
cultivated potato. One of them, Solanum commersonii (2n= 2x= 24, 1EBN, endosperm …

Background Rosaceae is a family containing many economically important fruit and
ornamental species. Although fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-based physical …

Cytogenetics has historically contributed to the taxonomy, genetics, and breeding of
cultivated and wild Solanum species. This chapter summarizes the contributions of …

In this chapter, we review the contribution of cytogenetics to our understanding of the
genome organization of the carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) and its wild Daucus …
