Abstract:We found a variant in the carnation genome, the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase gene (DcACS1) that had only DcACS1b, suggesting it is a homozygote of the gene in the carnation cultivars 'Skyline' and 'Scarlett Plus'. The 'Mini-tiara' carnation is obtained by an interspecific cross between carnation and wild pink, one of which, Dianthus knappii. D. knappii, had three ACS1 genes orthologous to DcACS1b; i.e., DkACS1b.1, DkACS1b.2, and DkACS1b.3. The composition of ACS1 homologs was analyzed in sub-cult… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
