Authors: H.M. Li, H. Liang, Z. Li, Z.X. Tang, S.L. Fu, Y.Y. Geng, B.J. Yan and Z.L. Ren
Protein content (PC) is a crucial factor that determines the end-use and nutritional quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Glutamine synthetase (GS), which is a major participant in nitrogen metabolism, can convert inorganic nitrogen into organic nitrogen. Although many studies have been conducted on PC and GS, a dynamic analysis of all of the filling sta.. Read More»

Mitotic and meiotic behavior of rye chromosomes in wheat - Psathyrostachys huashanica amphiploid x triticale progeny
Authors: Q. Xie, H. Kang, D.L. Sparkes, S. Tao, X.M. Fan, L. Xu, X. Fan, L. Sha, H. Zhang, Y. Wang, J. Zeng and Y. Zhou
The dynamics of rye chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis was analyzed in a subset comprising 33 F3 lines from the cross of wheat, Psathyrostachys huashanica amphiploid (AABBDDNsNs) and hexaploid triticale (AABBRR), as visualized by genomic in situ hybridization. The results indicated that 31 of the total lines contained 4-14 rye chromosomes. Twenty-eigh.. Read More»

Identification and characterization of conserved microRNAs and their target genes in wheat (Triticum aestivum)
Authors: Z.J. Yin and F.F. Shen
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that regulate gene expression by translational repression or transcript degradation. A large number of miRNAs have been identified from model plant species; however, the character of conserved miRNAs is poorly understood. We studied 42 miRNA families that are conserved within the pl.. Read More»

Molecular cloning, functional verification, and evolution of TmPm3, the powdery mildew resistance gene of Triticum monococcum L.
Authors: C.Z. Zhao, Y.H. Li, H.T. Dong, M.M. Geng, W.H. Liu, F. Li, Z.F. Ni, X.J. Wang, C.J. Xie and Q.X. Sun
Powdery mildew (Pm) is one of the most harmful diseases in wheat. Three Pm-resistance genes, Pm3, Pm21, and Pm8, have been cloned but most Pm3/Pm8 alleles have lost their resistance to Pm in hexaploid wheat. In this study, a new Pm3 homolog gene (TmPm3) was isolated from Triticum monococcum L. using a homology-based cloning st.. Read More»

Morphological and sequence-related amplified polymorphism-based molecular diversity of local and exotic wheat genotypes
Authors: S.M. Abdelkhalik, A.K.M. Salem, A.R. Abdelaziz, M.H. Ammar
Assessing genetic diversity is a prerequisite for the genetic improvement of wheat. Molecular markers offer accurate and reproducible means for assessing genetic diversity. Field performance and sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP)-based assessment of molecular diversity was carried out on a set of 10 local and intro.. Read More»

Molecular characterization of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin contamination of wheat grains from Saudi Arabia
Authors: A.S. Al-Wadai, M.R. Al-Othman, M.A. Mahmoud and A.R.M. Abd El-Aziz
Twelve species belonging to six fungal genera were found to be associated with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain samples collected from three main regions in Saudi Arabia. The most common genera (average frequency) were Aspergillus (14.3%), Fusarium (29.1%), Penicillium (9.3%), and Alternaria (8.2%). Nineteen isolates of Aspergillus flavus were screened .. Read More»

Characterization and molecular mapping of a dwarf mutant in wheat
Authors: X.J. Jin, D.F. Sun, H.Y. Li, Y. Yang and G.L. Sun
A spontaneous dwarf mutant of wheat was found in an F5 generation line derived from a cross between Huamai No. 9 and Een No. 1 in 1998; it was named Huaai 01. We characterized the genetic pattern of Huaai 01 and mapped the gene controlling the dwarf trait. This dwarf mutant was found insensitive to exogenous gibberellic acid treatment, based on the length.. Read More»

Identification of differentially expressed genes in a pistillody common wheat mutant using an annealing control primer system
Authors: M.L. Liao,Z.S. Peng,Z.J. Yang,S.H. Wei and P. Martinek
HTS-1 is a new kind of pistillody wheat. All or parts of its stamen are transformed into pistils or pistil-like structures, and it has more seed sets per floret than normal wheat under normal cultivation conditions. To investigate the expression divergence in this mutant, an annealing control primer system was used to identify differentially expressed gen.. Read More»

Antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects of wheat bran in vivo
Authors: J.R. Pesarini, P.T. Zaninetti, M.O. Mauro, C.M. Carreira, J.B. Dichi, L.R. Ribeiro, M.S. Mantovani and R.J. Oliveira
Previous studies in rodents treated with the pro-carcinogen 1,2-dimethylhydrazine suggested that the consumption of wheat bran protected against DNA damage in the colon and rectum. Based on this information, we evaluated wheat bran as a functional food in the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. We used the aberrant crypt focus assay to evaluate the .. Read More»

Major quality trait analysis and QTL detection in hexaploid wheat in humid rain-fed agriculture
Authors: H.M. Li, Z.X. Tang, H.Q. Zhang, B.J. Yan and Z.L. Ren
Humid rain-fed agriculture is a special environment for wheat (Triticum aestivum) culture that tends to negatively affect wheat yield and quality. To identify quality characters of wheat in a humid environment, we conducted quality analysis and quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection in a recombinant inbred line whose parent had a high level of quality fo..
