Differential expression of resistance to powdery mildew at the early stage of development in wheat line N0308
Authors: M.A. Alam, W. Hongpo, Z. Hong and W.Q. Ji
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp tritici (Bgt) is one of the devastating diseases of wheat and causes yield losses in temperate wheat growing regions. A wheat line, N0308 with resistance to powdery mildew was used in this study. A suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA library was constructed from the whea.. Read More»

Identification and sequence analysis of grain softness protein in selected wheat, rye and triticale
Authors: M.A.S. Kharrazi and V. Bobojonov
Grain softness protein (GSP) is an important protein for overcoming milling and grain defenses in the innate immunity systems of cereals. The objective of this study was to evaluate and understand GSP sequences in selected wheat, rye and triticale. Using sequences for this gene from a sequence database, we performed clustering analysis to compare the sequ.. Read More»

Biolistic transformation of wheat using the HMW-GS 1Dx5 gene without selectable markers
Authors: J.B. Qin, Y. Wang and C.Q. Zhu
Genetic manipulation using linear DNA was applied to the common wheat variety Xindong No. 26 via particle bombardment with the aim to improve bread-making quality of flour. Initially, 2 biolistic parameters, helium pressure and target distance, were optimized using plasmid pAHC25. We transformed wheat immature embryo scutella .. Read More»

Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of WAG-1 in the pistillody line of common wheat
Authors: Q.H. Wang, Z.J. Yang, S.H. Wei, Z.Y. Jiang, Y.F. Yang, Z.S. Hu,Q.X. Sun and Z.S. Peng
Wheat WAG-1 is a C-class MADS-box gene, which is orthologous to AGAMOUS in Arabidopsis. In this study, we report the cloning, characterization, and expression patterns of WAG-1 in the pistillody mutant HTS-1 and its sib-line CSTP. The cDNA of WAG-1 was found to be 765 bp in length, which was equal to the length of its open rea.. Read More»

Variation in genotypic responses and biochemical analysis of callus induction in cultivated wheat
Authors: M.M. Shah1, Q. Khalid1, U.W. Khan1, S.A.H. Shah3, S.H. Shah2,A. Hassan1 and A. Pervez1
Wheat is notorious for callus induction, which is a major hindrance in direct gene transfer and consequently for genetic improvement programs. In order to provide a successful platform for gene transformation, good callus quantity and quality is important. We investigated the variation in callus induction capabilities of Pakistani wheat cultivars and.. Read More»

Expressed sequence tag-PCR markers for identification of alien barley chromosome 2H in wheat
Authors: M.J. Wang H.D. Zou Z.S. Lin Y. Wu X. Chen Y.P. Yuan
We developed EST-PCR markers specific to barley chromosome 2H, for the purpose of effectively tracing alien chromosomes or chromosome parts in the wheat genetic background. The target alien chromosome 2H confers high resistance to pre-harvest sprouting, which is a worldwide natural disaster in wheat. A total of 120 primer pairs were selected by combining .. Read More»

Salt stress causes a shift in the localization pattern of germin gene expression
Authors: M. Caliskan
The response of plants to biotic and abiotic stress factors involves biochemical, physiological, morphological, and developmental changes. Salt stress has been the subject of extensive studies due to the low salt tolerance of many crop plants. Germin and germin-like gene products are known to be involved in various aspects of ..

Identification and characterization of a novel Iraqi isolate of Fusarium pseudograminearum causing crown rot in wheat
Authors: M.A. Hameed, R.M. Rana and Z. Ali
Crown rot is one of the main important fungal diseases affecting wheat in many areas of the world, including Australia, USA, and Iran. Until now, there had been no report of this pathogen in Iraq. Plants displaying crown rot symptoms were observed in Shaat Alarab (Basra, Iraq); we investigated the causal agent of the disease. .. Read More»

Analysis of allopolyploidy-induced rapid genetic and epigenetic changes and their relationship in wheat
Authors: T. Qiu, Y.Z. Dong, X.M. Yu, N. Zhao and Y.F. Yang
We used the conventional and methylation-sensitive randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) analyses to assess genome-wide changes and explore the relationships between genetic and epigenetic variations among individuals of a newly synthesized allohexaploid wheat line whose genomic cons..

A new reduced height gene found in the tetraploid semi-dwarf wheat landrace Aiganfanmai
Authors: Z.S. Peng, X. Li, Z.J. Yang and M.L. Liao
Aiganfanmai is a dwarf tetraploid wheat landrace (Triticum turgidum var. turgidum) that stably produces the semi-dwarf trait. Plant height varies from 80-105 cm under cultivation. Compared with tall durum wheat (T. turgidum var. durum) variety Langdon, we found it to have short spikes and seeds, besides a semi-dwarf character... Read More»
