Author Information
Author(s): Leonyl van Zyl
Hypothesis
Can arrays from one genus be used for studies of gene expression in another genus?
Conclusion
Arrays of cDNA from loblolly pine are useful for studies of gene expression in other pines or spruces.
Supporting Evidence
- The level of sequence conservation between Pinus and Picea is high.
Takeaway
Scientists found that they can use DNA from one type of pine tree to study how other types of pine trees and spruces work.
Methodology
Hybridization of Pinus taeda cDNA arrays with cDNA from needles and embryogenic cultures of P. taeda, P. sylvestris, and Picea abies.
