Article Synopsis
- * Cultivated mints have complex genomes and are sterile, making it essential to develop genomic resources from fertile species, leading to the study of Mentha longifolia, a wilt-resistant diploid mint species.
- * The draft genome of M. longifolia includes over 35,000 protein-coding genes and is useful for both metabolic engineering and breeding, with practical applications demonstrated in enhancing essential oil production in peppermint.
To identify specific genes determining the initiation and formation of adventitious roots (AR), a microarray-based transcriptome analysis in the stem base of the cuttings of Petunia hybrida (line W115) was conducted. A microarray carrying 24,816 unique, non-redundant annotated sequences was hybridized to probes derived from different stages of AR formation. After exclusion of wound-responsive and root-regulated genes, 1,354 of them were identified which were significantly and specifically induced during various phases of AR formation.
