Characterization of wheat varieties (Triticum spp.) through seed morphology

Characterization of resistance components to russian wheat aphid diuraphis noxia (mordvilko) in several wheat (triticum SPP.)genotypes

Biochemical and genetic characterization of wheat (Triticum spp.) kernel polyphenol oxidases

Genetic variability of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity was evaluated in hexaploid, tetraploid, and aneuploid wheat (Triticum spp.). A DNA probe to kernel-specific PPO hybridized to PPO clones from an immature wheat kernel cDNA library but not to clones from a seedling cDNA library. Recombinant protein and antibody were developed from the kernel-specific PPO. PPO transcript and antigenic prote...

Morphology, Biochemical and Genomic Diversity of Hexaploid Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Varieties in Ethiopia: A Prospective Study

Hexaploid Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important food cereals grown in many areas worldwide. World population is to increase by 2.6 billion in 2050. Ethiopia is one of the world’s nine countries needed to increase food production. Since few studies on genetic diversity & in adequate evaluation of bread wheat varieties; my objective the project is to study genetic diversity of...

Seed Maturation Regulators Are Related to the Control of Seed Dormancy in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

In Arabidopsis, the regulation network of the seed maturation program controls the induction of seed dormancy. Wheat EST sequences showing homology with the master regulators of seed maturation, leafy cotyledon1 (LEC1), LEC2 and FUSCA3 (FUS3), were searched from databases and designated respectively as TaL1L (LEC1-LIKE), TaL2L (LEC2-LIKE), and TaFUS3. TaL1LA, TaL2LA and TaFUS3 mainly expressed ...

MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.) GENOTYPES THROUGH SSR MARKERS

A study was undertaken to examine the genetic diversity of 12 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, using 4 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). A total of 10 alleles were found. Allele number per locus ranged from 2 to 4 with an average of 2.5. The polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.2755 to 0.5411 with an average of 0.3839. The average gene diversity over all SSR loci for ...
