Project Detail

Foreign DNA in barley (Hordeum spp.) – are there any genomic enablers of horizontal gene transfer in grasses?

Name: Foreign DNA in barley (Hordeum spp.) – are there any genomic enablers of horizontal gene transfer in grasses?
Researchers: Mahelka Václav (researcher)
Nagy Nejedlá Michaela (member in research team)
Caklová Petra (member in research team)
Krak Karol (member in research team)
Fehrer Judith (member in research team)
Provider: Grantová agentura ČR
Number: GA17-06548S
Realization from: 2017
Realization to: 2019
Summary: Using molecular techniques, cytogenetics and bioinformatics, we will investigate the nature and evolutionary dynamics of foreign genetic material originating from panicoid grasses in the genus Hordeum (Triticeae, Pooideae). We aim to verify its potential origin by multiple horizontal gene transfer.
