PUBLISHED PAPERS RELATING TO CARROT (Daucus carota L.) (in date order) Davey, J.C., Horgan, G.W. & Talbot, M. 1997 Image analysis: a tool for assessing plant uniformity and variety matching. In: Proceedings of the fifth meeting of the EUCARPIA Carrot Working Group. Krakow.
A variant, WCHlO5, expressing CHr in the callus, as well as in regenerated plantlets, was isolated from a cell line derived from a wild carrot plant. The plantlets regenerated from WCHIO5 are green, but do not produce normal, dissected leaves.

A biennial with a taproot of distinctive odor. The plant is stiff and hairy, 1 to 3 feet tall. Leaves are divided several times. Flowers grow in a fat-top umbel, often centered by one or several minute, dark purple flowers. A weed introduced about 1900, now grows nearly throughout the U.S.
bstract In a field experiment with a susceptible population of annual wild carrot (Daucus carota) from Iran, artificial inoculations with the fungal pathogen A. dauci led to a strong and very significant increase of the diseased leaf area.
General Description: A biennial forming a basal rosette of leaves the first year and an erect flowering stalk (1 m in height) the following year. The foliage is fern-like with a carrot-like odor.
Also known as Queen Anne's lace, this Class B noxious weed is widespread in western WA, however control is required in certain areas of eastern WA because of the impact to commercial carrot growers.
The intron/exon boundaries matched established consensus sequences. Within 240 base pairs (bp) upstream of the initiation codon three putative TATA boxes were found.
