| A bacterial artificial chromosome library for 'Jefferson' hazelnut and identification of clones associated with eastern filbert blight resistance and pollen-stigma incompatibility. | European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is the only economically important nut crop in the family Betulaceae. Because of its small genome size (~385 Mb / 1C), relatively short life cycle, availability of a dense linkage map, and amenability to transformation by Agrobacterium, the European hazelnut could serve as a model plant for the Betulaceae. Here we report the construction of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for 'Jefferson' hazelnut using the cloning enzyme MboI and the vector ... | 2011 | 21936690 |
| Simulated environmental criticalities affect transglutaminase of Malus and Corylus pollens having different allergenic potential. | Increases in temperature and air pollution influence pollen allergenicity, which is responsible for the dramatic raise in respiratory allergies. To clarify possible underlying mechanisms, an anemophilous pollen (hazel, Corylus avellana), known to be allergenic, and an entomophilous one (apple, Malus domestica), the allergenicity of which was not known, were analysed. The presence also in apple pollen of known fruit allergens and their immunorecognition by serum of an allergic patient were prelim ... | 2011 | 21847612 |
