A bacterial artificial chromosome library for 'Jefferson' hazelnut and identification of clones associated with eastern filbert blight resistance and pollen-stigma incompatibility.

Abstract excerpt

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...
