Example sentences for: petunia

How can you use “petunia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In another type of experiment, efforts to enhance floral coloration in petunia by overexpressing a transgene encoding a protein involved in pigment synthesis led paradoxically to partial or complete loss of color (Figure 2).

  • In contrast, in the PAI gene family, combining the master locus (WS ecotype PAI1/PAI4 ) with a non-allelic singlet target locus possessing 100% sequence identity (Columbia PAI2 ) resulted in methylation after two generations of heterozygous contact, and methylation became more pronounced after another two generations [ 12 ] . Likewise, in the petunia CHS gene family, interaction between an epiallele of the direct-repeat locus, CHS41, with two types of target loci, either an unlinked inverted repeat locus or a more naïve allele of CHS41, was initially additive and only became suppressive in the second generation [ 4 10 ] .

  • These searches, e.g. the search initiated with the core RDRP module from Petunia (residues 37-775), readily retrieved RDRPs from plants, C. elegans , Dictyostelium discoideum , several fungi, and Giardia lamblia with statistically highly significant expectation (E) values.

  • The Myb1 motif was identified in Antirrhinum . [ 86 ] , the Myb2 and Myb3 motifs in Petunia [ 87 ] . These sequences have not been verified as valid Myb binding motifs in Arabidopsis . The under-representation of the DRE-like element suggests that genes whose expression is modulated by pathogen attacks and oxidative stress signaling may have minimal overlap with genes involved in dehydration and cold responses.

  • As exemplified by the petunia cosuppression experiments, nonessential plant pigments provide conspicuous visual markers that vividly reveal gene silencing.
