  • ADVANCING THE DISCOVERY OF CAUSAL ALLELES CONTROLLING AGRICULTURAL PHENOTYPES IN APPLE (MALUS DOMESTICA) 

    Davies, Thomas (2024-08-22)
    The apple is an economically and culturally important fruit crop grown in temperate regions around the world. The apple stands to benefit greatly from modern genomics, including the application of genomics informed breeding ...
  • THE EVOLUTION OF ORGANELLE GENOME ARCHITECTURE 

    Smith, David Roy (2010-08-31)
    Genomic sequence data from the three domains of life have revealed a remarkable diversity of genome architectures. The relative contributions of adaptive versus non-adaptive processes in shaping this diversity are poorly ...
  • EXPLORING THE GENETICS OF AROMA PRODUCTION IN APPLES 

    Soomro, Tayab (2022-08-22)
    Apple aroma is a major determinant of consumer acceptability. In order to better understand the aroma of apples, gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GCMS) was used to quantify apple volatiles across 515 apple varieties ...
  • Genomic Ancestry Estimation in Interspecific Grape Hybrids 

    Sawler, Jason (2014-04-09)
    The genus Vitis (the grapevine) is a group of highly diverse, diploid woody perennial vines consisting of approximately 60 species from across the northern hemisphere. To gain insights into the use of wild Vitis species ...
  • Studies on the genome biology and evolution of Acanthamoeba 

    Colp, Morgan J. (2024-08-22)
    Acanthamoeba castellanii has the potential to be a model organism for studying genome evolution and lateral gene transfer in eukaryotes. However, its complex and dynamic genome has posed a challenge to realizing the full ...
