Project Details

Description

The purpose of this project, carried out in collaboration with the Faculté Universitaire Agronomique de Gembloux is to identify and quantify by real time PCR the expression of genes coding for the enzymes involved in pectin synthesis and degradation in the chicory root. The final aim of this project is to identify sequence polymorphism from the enzymes involved.
