Project description

This project wants to analyze the presence, expression and role of T-DNA sequences in several sweet potato genotypes. Sequences analysis will be performed to study the inserted T-DNA sequences and the flanking plant DNA. The inheritance of the T-DNA alleles will be studied in the progeny of a cross.
