Wild Lactuca species, their genetic diversity, resistance to diseases and pests, and exploitation in lettuce breeding
2014-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Current knowledge of wild Lactuca L. species, their taxonomy, biogeography, gene-pools, germplasm collection quality and quantity, and accession availability is reviewed in this paper. Genetic diversity of Lactuca spp. is characterized at the level of phenotypic and phenological variation, variation in karyology and DNA content, biochemical traits, and protein and molecular polymorphism. The reported variation in...
