Prospect for genetic improvement of inflorescences structure in oil crops of Brassicaceae family

TSitologiia i genetika 2009, v 43, Issue 3, 15-19

The theoretical substantiation and new scientific decision of ability to genetic construction of agriculturally valuable inflorescence structure in oil crops of Brassicaceae family are proposed on the examples of A. thaliana genes AP1, BP1 and TFL1. New types of plants are more suitable to machine seed harvesting as a result of decreasing non–simultaneous ripeness of seeds within inflorescences. It has been determined that A. thaliana forms inflorescences with new combinations of untypical for family Brassicaceae features by the effects of recessive alleles ap1-1, bp-1 and tfl1-2 expression.

Key words: arabidopsis, inflorescence, allele, mutant line, pleiotropic effect
