==Introduction to Flowering==
 +
====The Process of Flowering====
 +
*Flowering is the "switch from vegetative growth (the production of stems and leaves) to reproductive growth (the production of flowers)" ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0010065 Higgins ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
*The “shoot apical meristem starts to produce flowers instead of leaves” ([http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867410004411 Fornara ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
*Occurs “when conditions for pollination and seed development are optimal and consequently most plants restrict flowering to a specific time of year” ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0010065 Higgins ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
*”The genes and molecular mechanisms controlling flowering have been extensively studied in the model dicot <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>” ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0010065 Higgins ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
*In <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>, “180 genes have been implicated in flowering-time control based on isolation of loss-of-function mutations or analysis of transgenic plants ... Strikingly, several genes act more than once and in several tissues during floral induction” ([http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867410004411 Fornara ''et al.'', 2010])
 +

 +
====The Timing of Flowering====
 +
*Flowering is controlled by several “major pathways: the photoperiod and vernalization pathways control flowering in response to seasonal changes in day length and temperature; the ambient temperature pathway responds to daily growth temperatures; and the age, autonomous, and gibberellin pathways act more independently of environmental stimuli.” ([http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867410004411 Fornara ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
*These “pathways converge to regulate a small number of ‘floral integrator genes,’ ... which govern flowering time by merging signals from multiple pathways” ([http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867410004411 Fornara ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
 
 +
====The Importance of Flowering====
 +
*”Flowering is one of the most important agronomic traits influencing crop yield” ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])
 +
*”Flowering time is important for adaptation to specific environments and the world's major crop species provide a particularly interesting opportunity for study because they are grown in areas outside the ecogeographical limits of their wild ancestors” ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0010065 Higgins ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
*“Adaptation to different environments and practices has been achieved by manipulation of flowering time responses” ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0010065 Higgins ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
*The study of flowering is ”critical for the breeding of climate change resilient crop varieties” ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])
 +
*Flowering is “an excellent system for comparison between and within domestic and wild species” ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0010065 Higgins ''et al.'', 2010])
 +
 
 +
 
 +
==Pathways Controlling Flowering==
 +
====Age Pathway====
 +
*"The miR156–SPL interaction constitutes an evolutionarily conserved, endogenous cue for both vegetative phase transition and flowering ... The age-dependent decrease in miR156 results in an increase in SPLs that promote juvenile to adult phase transition and flowering through activation of miR172, MADS box genes, and LFY" ([http://www.plantcell.org/content/early/2012/08/29/tpc.112.101014.full.pdf+html Yu ''et al.'', 2012])
 +
*5 <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes are involved in the age pathway: SPL3, SPL4, SPL5, SPL9, SPL10 ([http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-313X.2010.04148.x/pdf/ Amasino, 2010])
 +
 
 +
====Ambient Temperature Pathway====
 +
*Unlike "the photoperiod and vernalisation pathways [which] monitor seasonal changes in day length or temperature and ... [respond] to exposure to long days or prolonged cold temperatures, the ambient temperature pathway coordinates the response to daily growth temperatures" ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])
 +
*16 <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes are involved in the ambient temperature pathway: AGL31, ATARP6, ATBZIP27, FCA, FD, FLC, FLD, FT, FVE, MAF1, MAF3, MAF4, MAF5, SVP, TFL1, TSF ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])
  
Prepare for presentation.
+
====Autonomous Pathway====
<br/>Aggregate all &nbsp;sequences into a single document in proper FASTA format.
+
*The autonomous pathway is "activated in response to endogenous changes that are independent from the environmental cues leading to flowering", such as the plant's circadian rhythm ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])
 +
*17 <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes are involved in the autonomous pathway: CLF, FCA, FIE1, FLD, FLK, FPA, FVE, FY, LD, MSI1, SWN, VEL1, VEL2, VEL3, VIN3, VRN2, VRN5 ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])
  
 +
====Gibberellin Pathway====
 +
*Gibberellin "is essential for floral induction in short-day conditions." In fact, plants with a "mutation in a GA biosynthetic gene, such as GA1, fail to flower" ([http://www.plantcell.org/content/early/2012/08/29/tpc.112.101014.full.pdf+html Yu ''et al.'', 2012])
 +
*5 <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes are involved in the gibberellin pathway: GAI, GID1, RGA, RGL1, RGL2 ([http://www.plantcell.org/content/early/2012/08/29/tpc.112.101014.full.pdf+html Yu ''et al.'', 2012])
  
===Chronology of <i>Arabidopsis</i> Flowering Pathways (2004-Present)===
+
====Light Signaling Pathway====
 +
*"Light is one of the main environmental regulators of flowering in plants. Plants sense the time of day and season of year by monitoring the light environment through light signalling pathways." Furthermore, the light signalling pathway is comprised of the "photoperiod pathway genes together with photoreceptor genes and circadian clock components" ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])
 +
*48 <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes are involved in the light signaling pathway: APRR3, APRR5, APRR9, AT1G26790, AT1G29160, AT2G34140, AT3G21320, AT3G25730, ATCOL4, ATCOL5, CCA1, CDF1, CDF2, CDF3, CDF5, CHE, CIB1, CO, COL1, COL2, COL9, COP1, CRY1, CRY2, ELF3, ELF4, ELF4-L3, FKF1, GI, LHY, LKP2, LUX, PHYA, PHYB, PHYC, PHYD, PHYE, PRR7, RAV1, RFI2, SPA1, SPA2, SPA3, SPA4, TEM1, TEM2, TOC1, ZTL ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])

====Polycomb Pathway====
<br/>Overall pathway for the time of bloom from [http://dev.biologists.org/content/131/16/3829/F1.expansion.html Henderson and Dean, 2004].
+
*The polycomb pathway centers on “epigenetic [repression] [of] various developmental and cellular processes … [through two] multi-subunit protein complexes: Polycomb Repressor Complex 1 (PRC1)and Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) ([http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pgen.1002512 Kim ''et al.'', 2012])
<br/><br/> [[Image:Flowering_Pathway_2009.gif|700px]]
+
*10 <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes are involved in the polycomb pathway: CLF, EMF1, EMF2, FIE1, FIS2, LHP1, MEA, MSI1, SWN, VRN2 ([http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pgen.1002512 Kim ''et al.'', 2012])
<br/>Overall pathway for the time of bloom from [http://www.els.net/WileyCDA/ElsArticle/refId-a0002053.html Schneitz, 2009].
 
<br/><br/> [[Image:Flowering_Pathway_2010_2011.jpg|700px]]
 
<br/>"The <i>Arabidopsis</i> floral transition network has been delineated as a result of extensive genetic analyses (depicted in a), but genome-wide studies have uncovered new molecular interactions and highlighted the role of AP1 as both a molecular switch and a network hub (shown in b)."
 
<br/>Overall pathway for the time of bloom from [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 Wellmer and Riechmann, 2010] and [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0958166910002284 Ferrier et al., 2011].

 +
====Vernalization Pathway====
 +
*The vernalization pathway is the response to "prolonged periods of low temperature [that are required] to initiate flowering" ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])
 +
*32 <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes are involved in the vernalization pathway: AGL14, AGL19, AGL24, AGL31, ATARP6, ATSWC6, CLF, EFS, FES1, FIE1, FLC, FRI, FRL1, FRL2, HUA2, MAF1, MAF3, MAF4, MAF5, MSI1, PAF1, PAF2, PEP, PIE1, SUF4, SVP, SWN, VEL1, VIN3, VRN1, VRN2, VRN5 ([http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012])

+
*I examined a variety of journal articles related to time of flowering in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> and found a number of pathways related to flowering (see the gallery above). I came across a genomic analysis of soybean by [http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012]. In this paper, they listed the "183 <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes that are known to take part in flowering regulatory pathways [taken] from previous studies." These 183 genes, plus "24 additional <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes that are grouped into the same [homolog groups] as known flowering genes," provided a solid foundation for my study. All 207 total genes from [http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012] can be viewed here: [[File:Jung 207 Arabidopsis Flowering Genes.pdf]].
|-
+
*These 207 total genes fell into two categories: 1) flowering pathway integrators/meristem identity genes and 2) condition pathway genes (responding to the photoperiod pathway, the vernalization pathway, the ambient temperature pathway, the autonomous pathway, and other pathways). Per the direction of Dr. Jeannie Rowland of the USDA Genetic Improvement for Fruits and Vegetables Laboratory, I focused on the condition pathway genes.
| ABF1||Binds to the ABA-responsive element (ABRE). Could participate in abscisic acid-regulated gene expression.||[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9M7Q5 UniProtKB]||||
+
*I identified a total of seven different pathways controlling flowering: the age pathway, the ambient temperature pathway, the autonomous pathway, the gibberellin pathway, the light signaling pathway, the polycomb pathway, and the vernalization pathway. Descriptions and primary genes involved in these pathways were taken from [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-313X.2010.04148.x/pdf/ Amasino, 2010], [http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0038250 Jung ''et al.'', 2012], [http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pgen.1002512 Kim ''et al.'', 2012], and [http://www.plantcell.org/content/early/2012/08/29/tpc.112.101014.full.pdf+html Yu ''et al.'', 2012].
|-
+
*A total of 108 genes were examined, almost all of which "have been implicated in flowering-time control based on isolation of loss-of-function mutations or analysis of transgenic plants." ([http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867410004411 Fornara ''et al.'', 2010])

====Finding SSRs====
| ABF3||Binds to the ABA-responsive element (ABRE). Mediates stress-responsive ABA signaling.||[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9M7Q3 UniProtKB]||||

+
*Amino acid sequences for all <i>Arabidopsis</i> genes were taken from [http://www.arabidopsis.org/index.jsp The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) (Huala ''et al.'', 2001)]. The amino acid sequences were run via tBLASTn against the blueberry scaffolds to find the closest match using the following coding:

This gene possesses a light-induced CNT2 N-terminal homodimerisation domain.Involved in blue-light induced stomatal opening. Involved in triggering chromatin decondensation. An 80-residue motif (NC80) is sufficient to confer CRY2's physiological function. It is proposed that the PHR domain and the C-terminal tail of the unphosphorylated CRY2 form a "closed" conformation to suppress the NC80 motif in the absence of light. In response to blue light, the C-terminal tail of CRY2 is phosphorylated and electrostatically repelled from the surface of the PHR domain to form an "open" conformation, resulting in derepression of the NC80 motif and signal transduction to trigger photomorphogenic responses. Cry2 phosphorylation and degradation both occur in the nucleus.||[http://arabidopsis.org/servlets/TairObject?id=28374&type=locus TAIR]||L||

Both maternal and paternal alleles are reset by vernalization, but their earliest activation differs in timing and location. Histone H3 trimethylation at lysine 4 and histone acetylation are associated with active FLC expression, whereas histone deacetylation and histone H3 dimethylation at lysines 9 and 27 are involved in FLC repression. Expression is also repressed by two small RNAs (30- and 24-nt) complementary to the FLC sense strand 3’ to the polyA site. The small RNAs are most likely derived from an antisense transcript of FLC.

Regulates several developmental processes, including photoperiod-mediated flowering, phytochrome B signaling, circadian clock, carbohydrate metabolism, and cold stress response. The gene's transcription is controlled by the circadian clock and it is post-transcriptionally regulated by light and dark. Forms a complex with FKF1 on the CO promoter to regulate CO expression.||[http://arabidopsis.org/servlets/TairObject?id=136959&type=locus TAIR]||L||

| MSI1||Encodes a WD-40 repeat containing protein that functions in chromatin assembly as part of the CAF1 and FIE complex. Mutants exhibit parthenogenetic development that includes proliferation of unfertilized endosperm and embryos. In heterozygous plants 50% of embryos abort. Of the aborted embryos the early aborted class are homozygous and the later aborting lass are heterozygotes in which the defective allele is maternally transmitted. Other phenotypes include defects in ovule morphogenesis and organ initiation,as well as increased levels of heterochromatic DNA. MSI1 is needed for the transition to flowering. In Arabidopsis, the three CAF-1 subunits are encoded by FAS1, FAS2 and, most likely, MSI1, respectively. Mutations in FAS1 or FAS2 lead to increased frequency of homologous recombination and T-DNA integration in Arabidopsis. In the ovule, the MSI1 transcripts are accumulated at their highest level before fertilization and gradually decrease after fertilization. MSI is biallelically expressed, the paternall allele is expressed in the endosperm and embryo and is not imprinted. MSI1 forms a complex with RBR1 that is required for activation of the imprinted genes FIS2 and FWA. This activation is mediated by MSI1/RBR1 mediated repression of MET1.||[http://arabidopsis.org/servlets/TairObject?id=132921&type=locus TAIR]||Au, V||

| WUS||Homeobox gene controlling the stem cell pool. Expressed in the stem cell organizing center of meristems. Required to keep the stem cells in an undifferentiated state. Regulation of WUS transcription is a central checkpoint in stem cell control. The size of the WUS expression domain controls the size of the stem cell population through WUS indirectly activating the expression of CLAVATA3 (CLV3) in the stem cells and CLV3 repressing WUS transcription through the CLV1 receptor kinase signaling pathway. Repression of WUS transcription through AGAMOUS (AG) activity controls stem cell activity in the determinate floral meristem. Binds to TAAT element core motif. WUS is also involved in cell differentiation during anther development.||[http://arabidopsis.org/servlets/TairObject?id=34708&type=locus TAIR]||||[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/C3UZN8 Grape]

Introduction to Flowering

The Process of Flowering

  • Flowering is the "switch from vegetative growth (the production of stems and leaves) to reproductive growth (the production of flowers)" (Higgins et al., 2010)
  • The “shoot apical meristem starts to produce flowers instead of leaves” (Fornara et al., 2010)
  • Occurs “when conditions for pollination and seed development are optimal and consequently most plants restrict flowering to a specific time of year” (Higgins et al., 2010)
  • ”The genes and molecular mechanisms controlling flowering have been extensively studied in the model dicot Arabidopsis thaliana” (Higgins et al., 2010)
  • In Arabidopsis thaliana, “180 genes have been implicated in flowering-time control based on isolation of loss-of-function mutations or analysis of transgenic plants ... Strikingly, several genes act more than once and in several tissues during floral induction” (Fornara et al., 2010)

The Timing of Flowering

  • Flowering is controlled by several “major pathways: the photoperiod and vernalization pathways control flowering in response to seasonal changes in day length and temperature; the ambient temperature pathway responds to daily growth temperatures; and the age, autonomous, and gibberellin pathways act more independently of environmental stimuli.” (Fornara et al., 2010)
  • These “pathways converge to regulate a small number of ‘floral integrator genes,’ ... which govern flowering time by merging signals from multiple pathways” (Fornara et al., 2010)

The Importance of Flowering

  • ”Flowering is one of the most important agronomic traits influencing crop yield” (Jung et al., 2012)
  • ”Flowering time is important for adaptation to specific environments and the world's major crop species provide a particularly interesting opportunity for study because they are grown in areas outside the ecogeographical limits of their wild ancestors” (Higgins et al., 2010)
  • “Adaptation to different environments and practices has been achieved by manipulation of flowering time responses” (Higgins et al., 2010)
  • The study of flowering is ”critical for the breeding of climate change resilient crop varieties” (Jung et al., 2012)
  • Flowering is “an excellent system for comparison between and within domestic and wild species” (Higgins et al., 2010)


Pathways Controlling Flowering

Age Pathway

  • "The miR156–SPL interaction constitutes an evolutionarily conserved, endogenous cue for both vegetative phase transition and flowering ... The age-dependent decrease in miR156 results in an increase in SPLs that promote juvenile to adult phase transition and flowering through activation of miR172, MADS box genes, and LFY" (Yu et al., 2012)
  • 5 Arabidopsis genes are involved in the age pathway: SPL3, SPL4, SPL5, SPL9, SPL10 (Amasino, 2010)

Ambient Temperature Pathway

  • Unlike "the photoperiod and vernalisation pathways [which] monitor seasonal changes in day length or temperature and ... [respond] to exposure to long days or prolonged cold temperatures, the ambient temperature pathway coordinates the response to daily growth temperatures" (Jung et al., 2012)
  • 16 Arabidopsis genes are involved in the ambient temperature pathway: AGL31, ATARP6, ATBZIP27, FCA, FD, FLC, FLD, FT, FVE, MAF1, MAF3, MAF4, MAF5, SVP, TFL1, TSF (Jung et al., 2012)

Autonomous Pathway

  • The autonomous pathway is "activated in response to endogenous changes that are independent from the environmental cues leading to flowering", such as the plant's circadian rhythm (Jung et al., 2012)
  • 17 Arabidopsis genes are involved in the autonomous pathway: CLF, FCA, FIE1, FLD, FLK, FPA, FVE, FY, LD, MSI1, SWN, VEL1, VEL2, VEL3, VIN3, VRN2, VRN5 (Jung et al., 2012)

Gibberellin Pathway

  • Gibberellin "is essential for floral induction in short-day conditions." In fact, plants with a "mutation in a GA biosynthetic gene, such as GA1, fail to flower" (Yu et al., 2012)
  • 5 Arabidopsis genes are involved in the gibberellin pathway: GAI, GID1, RGA, RGL1, RGL2 (Yu et al., 2012)

Light Signaling Pathway

  • "Light is one of the main environmental regulators of flowering in plants. Plants sense the time of day and season of year by monitoring the light environment through light signalling pathways." Furthermore, the light signalling pathway is comprised of the "photoperiod pathway genes together with photoreceptor genes and circadian clock components" (Jung et al., 2012)
  • 48 Arabidopsis genes are involved in the light signaling pathway: APRR3, APRR5, APRR9, AT1G26790, AT1G29160, AT2G34140, AT3G21320, AT3G25730, ATCOL4, ATCOL5, CCA1, CDF1, CDF2, CDF3, CDF5, CHE, CIB1, CO, COL1, COL2, COL9, COP1, CRY1, CRY2, ELF3, ELF4, ELF4-L3, FKF1, GI, LHY, LKP2, LUX, PHYA, PHYB, PHYC, PHYD, PHYE, PRR7, RAV1, RFI2, SPA1, SPA2, SPA3, SPA4, TEM1, TEM2, TOC1, ZTL (Jung et al., 2012)

Polycomb Pathway

  • The polycomb pathway centers on “epigenetic [repression] … [of] various developmental and cellular processes … [through two] multi-subunit protein complexes: Polycomb Repressor Complex 1 (PRC1)” and Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) (Kim et al., 2012)
  • 10 Arabidopsis genes are involved in the polycomb pathway: CLF, EMF1, EMF2, FIE1, FIS2, LHP1, MEA, MSI1, SWN, VRN2 (Kim et al., 2012)

Vernalization Pathway

  • The vernalization pathway is the response to "prolonged periods of low temperature [that are required] to initiate flowering" (Jung et al., 2012)
  • 32 Arabidopsis genes are involved in the vernalization pathway: AGL14, AGL19, AGL24, AGL31, ATARP6, ATSWC6, CLF, EFS, FES1, FIE1, FLC, FRI, FRL1, FRL2, HUA2, MAF1, MAF3, MAF4, MAF5, MSI1, PAF1, PAF2, PEP, PIE1, SUF4, SVP, SWN, VEL1, VIN3, VRN1, VRN2, VRN5 (Jung et al., 2012)

Methods

Finding Genes

  • I examined a variety of journal articles related to time of flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana and found a number of pathways related to flowering (see the gallery above). I came across a genomic analysis of soybean by Jung et al., 2012. In this paper, they listed the "183 Arabidopsis genes that are known to take part in flowering regulatory pathways [taken] from previous studies." These 183 genes, plus "24 additional Arabidopsis genes that are grouped into the same [homolog groups] as known flowering genes," provided a solid foundation for my study. All 207 total genes from Jung et al., 2012 can be viewed here: File:Jung 207 Arabidopsis Flowering Genes.pdf.
  • These 207 total genes fell into two categories: 1) flowering pathway integrators/meristem identity genes and 2) condition pathway genes (responding to the photoperiod pathway, the vernalization pathway, the ambient temperature pathway, the autonomous pathway, and other pathways). Per the direction of Dr. Jeannie Rowland of the USDA Genetic Improvement for Fruits and Vegetables Laboratory, I focused on the condition pathway genes.
  • I identified a total of seven different pathways controlling flowering: the age pathway, the ambient temperature pathway, the autonomous pathway, the gibberellin pathway, the light signaling pathway, the polycomb pathway, and the vernalization pathway. Descriptions and primary genes involved in these pathways were taken from Amasino, 2010, Jung et al., 2012, Kim et al., 2012, and Yu et al., 2012.
  • A total of 108 genes were examined, almost all of which "have been implicated in flowering-time control based on isolation of loss-of-function mutations or analysis of transgenic plants." (Fornara et al., 2010)

Finding SSRs

  • A local database of the blueberry genome was created using the following coding:
./bin/makeblastdb -in BlueberryGenome.txt -input_type fasta -dbtype nucl -title blueberry_Genome
{ echo bin/tblastn -query AASequence.txt -db BlueberryGenome.txt; bin/tblastn -query 
AASequence.txt -db BlueberryGenome.txt; } >> AAOutput.txt
  • For each gene result, the best match was presumed to be the ortholog of the Arabidopsis gene in Vaccinium corymbosum. A maximum E value cutoff of e-04 was established. Although all of the results fell within this cutoff, if a tBLASTn result had not fallen below the E value limit, attempts would have been made to find and tBLASTn a Vitis vinifera ortholog of the Arabidopsis gene from UniProtKB (UniProt Consortium, 2012) nomenclature search.
  • SSRs were determined by importing the best match scaffold into the SSR Tool at the Genome Database for Vaccinium. Three di/trinucleotide SSRs near the gene location on the scaffold were chosen for each gene.
