Gene discovery & controlled sport induction (CSI) for pear improvement

Author: Amit Dhingra

Published: 2010

Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Prioritization of economically important pear traits. 2. Gene discovery for establishing trait-gene relationships using an economical yet high-throughput methodology called Differential Display 3. Controlled Sport Induction using tissue culture derived propagules combined with high-throughput screening of allelic diversity for genes responsible for desirable trait.
