Location: Plant Introduction Research
Project Number: 5030-21000-070-005-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Mar 1, 2024
End Date: Feb 28, 2025
Objective:
1. Identify the sexual system and genome size of Gymnocladus dioicus.
2. Characterize germplasm diversity.
Approach:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolation will be executed using standard cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) extraction. Illumina polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genome sequencing will be used to identify the sexual system of G. dioicus.
