Regulation of Growth, Development and Whole Organism Physiology. Differential expression of XET-related genes in the leaf elongation zone of F. pratensis.

Analyzes quantitative trait loci (QTL) of photosynthesis and water status traits in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) under greenhouse conditions. Identification of two major QTL for net photosynthesis on linkage group VIII for stomatal movements and water status; Description of organization of genomic regions related to sunflower; Basis of QTL detection associated with measured phenotype with marker genotypes.
