Relationship between male sterility and �²-1,3-glucanase activity and callose deposition-related gene expression in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Authors: H.Z. Liu, G.S. Zhang, W.W. Zhu, Q.S. Ba, N. Niu, J.W. Wang,S.C. Ma and J.S. Wang

In previous studies, we first isolated one different protein β-1,3-glucanase using two-dimensional electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry from normal wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and chemical hybridization agent-induced male sterility (CIMS) wheat. In this experiment, β-1,3-glucanase acti.. Read More»

Isolation and in silico functional analysis of MtATP6, a 6-kDa subunit of mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase, in response to abiotic stress

Authors: A.A. Moghadam S.M. Taghavi A. Niazi M. Djavaheri E. Ebrahimie

Mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase is a key enzymatic complex of energy metabolism that provides ATP for the cell. Subunits of this enzyme over-express under stress conditions. Little is known about the structure and regulatory mechanism of the F0 portion of this enzyme. We isolated the full-length coding sequence of the RMtATP6 gene from rice and wheat, and pa..

Population genetic analysis and trichothecene profiling of Fusarium graminearum from wheat in Uruguay

Authors: D. Pan1, A. Mionetto1, N. Calero1, M.M. Reynoso2, A. Torres2 and L. Bettucci1

Fusarium graminearum sensu stricto (F. graminearum s.s.) is the major causal agent of Fusarium head blight of wheat worldwide, and contaminates grains with trichothecene mycotoxins that cause serious threats to food safety and animal health. An important aspect of managing this pathogen and reducing mycotoxin contamination of wheat is knowledge regarding .. Read More»

Bulked segregant analysis for relative water content to detect quantitative trait loci in wheat under drought stress

Authors: M.R. Naroui Rad M. Abdul Kadir M.Y. Rafii H.Z.E. Jaafar M.R. Naghavi

This study was carried out to evaluate the genetic effect of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) conferring drought tolerance in wheat. A population of 120 F2 individuals from the cross between the drought-tolerant S-78-11 and drought-sensitive Tajan cultivars were analyzed for their segregation under drought stress conditions. The relative water content under dr.. Read More»

Molecular cloning of a new wheat calreticulin gene TaCRT1 and expression analysis in plant defense responses and abiotic stress resistance

Authors: Y.Q. An, R.M. Lin, F.T. Wang, J. Feng, Y.F. Xu and S.C. Xu

Calreticulin proteins play essential roles in regulating various metabolic processes and in molecular signal transduction in animals and plants. Using homologous PCR, we screened a cDNA library of the wheat resistance gene Yr5 from a near-isogenic line in the susceptible common wheat variety Taichung 29, which was inoculated w.. Read More»

Characterization of agronomic and quality traits and HSW-G5 compositions from the progenies of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with different protein content

Authors: M. Bian, D.K. Sun, D.F. Sun and G.L.Sun

High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) play an essential role in wheat processing quality. In this study, we evaluated the genetic pattern with HMW-GS composition between generations and examined whether agronomic and quality traits were correlated with each other. A wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar with high protein content and 2 cultivars.. Read More»

Mapping quantitative trait loci with additive effects and additive x additive epistatic interactions for biomass yield, grain yield, and straw yield using a doubled haploid population of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Authors: Z.K. Li, X.L. Jiang, T. Peng, C.L. Shi, S.X. Han, B. Tian, Z.L. Zhu and J.C. Tian

Biomass yield is one of the most important traits for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-breeding programs. Increasing the yield of the aerial parts of wheat varieties will be an integral component of future wheat improvement; however, little is known regarding the genetic control of aerial part yield. A doubled haploid population, .. Read More»

Stimulation of dendritic cell maturation and induction of apoptosis in lymphoma cells by a stable lectin from buckwheat seeds

Authors: C.Z. Bai, H.J. Ji, M.L. Feng, X.L. Hao, Q.M. Zhong, X.D. Cui and Z.H. Wang

The present study aims to purify and characterize lectin from tartary buckwheat seeds and study its properties as well as biological activities to determine its possible biomedical applications in promoting maturation and proliferation of peripheral blood DCs derived from healthy donors and to study the effect of inducing apoptosis in human leukemia U937 ..

Stripe rust resistance and dough quality of new wheat - Dasypyrum villosum translocation lines T1DL�1V#3S and T1DS�1V#3L and the location of HMW-GS genes

Authors: W.C. Zhao, X. Gao, J. Dong, Z.J. Zhao, Q.G. Chen, L.G. Chen, Y.G. Shi and X.Y. Li

The transfer of agronomically useful genes from wild wheat species into cultivated wheat is one of the most effective approaches to improvement of wheat varieties. To evaluate the transfer of genes from Dasypyrum villosum into Triticum aestivum, wheat quality and disease resistance was evaluated in two new translocation lines, T1DL•1V#3S and T1DS&bul..

Evaluation of wheat landrace genotypes for salinity tolerance at vegetative stage by using morphological and molecular markers

Authors: A. Shahzad, M. Ahmad, M. Iqbal, I. Ahmed and G.M. Ali

Identification of new sources of salt tolerance is particularly important to develop crop varieties suitable for saline soils. We evaluated 129 Pakistani and 58 exotic wheat landraces/cultivars grown in Hoagland’s hydroponic nutrient solution, under control (tap water equivalent to 10 mM salt) and salt stress (200 mM NaC..
