Evaluation of Genetic Variability in Wheat and Maize under Heavy Metal and Drought Stress
Authors: M. Tahir, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
There are certain conditions which cause a change in the growth pattern of plants. These circumstances are significantly effective in growth and cultivation of major crops. The effects of higher levels of copper sulphate through fertilizers can be effective in reducing the growth of a healthy plant. An experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of Institu.. Read More»

Genetic Advances and Heritability for Different Seedling Traits of Wheat and Maize under Heavy Metal and Salt Stress
Authors: K. Afzal, M.S. Rashid, Q. Ali and A. Malik
Maize (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) both are an important cereal crop plants. Both are grown as food and feed for human and livestock. Wheat and maize are highly sensitive to heat, drought, salinity and heavy metal toxicity. For evaluation of genotypes of maize and wheat under heavy metal and salt stress, an experimented was conducted in the gr.. Read More»

Impact of forage clipping treatments on performance of winter wheat
Authors: S.A. Jadoon1, H. Ullah1, F. Mohammad2, I.H. Khalil2, M. Alam1,D. Shahwar1, M.F.A. Malik1 and Y. Jamal1
Farmers in northern parts of Pakistan face severe shortage of green forage for their livestock during the harsh winter season. Winter wheat has the potential to be used as a dual-purpose crop for forage plus grain production in these areas. Ten elite winter wheat lines from Oklahoma State University were evaluated at Hazara Research Station Abbottabad und.. Read More»

Identification of UV-B-induced microRNAs in wheat
Authors: B. Wang*, Y.F. Sun*, N. Song, X.J. Wang, H. Feng, L.L. Huang and Z.S. Kang
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation and act as important endogenous regulators to various stressors. Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is a major factor influencing crop growth and development. In this study, we isolated a novel wheat miRNA, named Tae-miR6000, and confirmed its expression diversity after UV-B treatm.. Read More»

Optimization of a biolistic transformation system for transfer of antifreeze gene KN2 and the bar herbicide resistance gene in common wheat
Authors: L. Cai, D.F. Sun and G.L. Sun
We studied the effects of different media for callus induction and differentiation, and pre-culture period of immature wheat embryo culture on biolistic transformation efficiency for including antifreeze gene KN2 and bar conferring resistance to the herbicide bialaphos. The percentage of plantlets generated from induction and .. Read More»

A novel SCAR marker for detecting Psathyrostachys huashanica Keng chromatin introduced in wheat
Authors: W.L. Du, J. Wang, L.M. Wang, Y.H. Pang, J. Wu, J.X. Zhao, Q.H. Yang and X.H. Chen
In this study, we cloned and sequenced a 938-base pair polymorphic band, pHs27, in the tightly linked random amplified polymorphic DNA marker OPU10 and converted it into a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker referred to as RHS141, which was specific for the Ns genome of Psathyrostachys huashanica. A GenBank basic local alignment search t.. Read More»

TaALMT1 promoter sequence compositions, acid tolerance, and Al tolerance in wheat cultivars and landraces from Sichuan in China
Authors: C. Han1*, S.F. Dai1*, D.C. Liu1, Z.J. Pu2, Y.M. Wei1, Y.L. Zheng1, D.J. Wen1, L. Zhao1 and Z.H. Yan1
Previous genetic studies on wheat from various sources have indicated that aluminum (Al) tolerance may have originated independently in USA, Brazil, and China. Here, TaALMT1 promoter sequences of 92 landraces and cultivars from Sichuan, China, were sequenced. Five promoter types (I', II, III, IV, and V) were observed in 39 cultivars, and only three promot..

Identification of the isoamylase 3 gene in common wheat and its expression profile during the grain-filling period
Authors: G.Z. Kang, G.Q. Liu, W. Xu, Y.J. Zhu, C.Y. Wang, H.Q. Ling and T.C. Guo
In higher plants, isoamylase-type starch debranching enzyme catalyzes the α-1,6-glucosidic linkages of glycogen and phytoglycogen. We cloned an isoamylase-type starch debranching enzyme ISA3 cDNA sequence (2883 bp), designated as TaISA3, from common wheat (Triticum aestivum), using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends method. The open reading frame .. Read More»

Improving yield and quality traits of durum wheat by introgressing chromosome segments from hexaploid wheat
Authors: Improving yield and quality traits of durum wheat by introgressing chromosome segments from hexaploid wheat
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum durum; 2n = 4x = 28; genome AABB) has long been an important food resource for human diets. The projected increase of the world’s population to 9.1 billion by 2050 has highlighted the importance and urgency for improving the yield and quality performance of durum wheat. A backcrossed popula.. Read More»

Analysis of mitochondrial DNA using amplified fragment length polymorphism markers of isonuclear allocytoplasmic male sterile wheat accessions and their maintainer lines
Authors: M. Ejaz*, Z. Qidi*, Z. Gaisheng, W. Qunzhu and Z. Xinbo
To produce a good F1 hybrid variety wheat crop, it is necessary to explore novel cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lines and their maintainer line. This study aimed to identify cytoplasmic variation in three isonuclear-alloplasmic male sterile lines Aegilops kotschyi (Ae.kots) -90-110, Aegilops ventricosa (Ae.ven) -90-110, and Triticum spelta (T.spelta) -9..
