cDNA LIBRARIES: carrot flower buds and carrot seedlings mRNA USED FOR cDNA SYNTHESIS: total RNA was prepared from flower buds and 7-d-old seedlings of carrot (Daucus carota L. cv Nantaise) by the method described in Prescott and Martin, Plant Mol Biol Rep 4: 219-224, 1987.
Conventional, IP and organic: Most growers use 5-7 cm wide bands with double or triple rows. A spacing of 45 cm is mostly used between the bands beneath the tractor and 60 cm spacing is used for tractor wheeling.
