Chemical characterization, functionality, and baking quality of intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium)

Comparison of wheatgrass (A. intermedium) and tall wheatgrass (A. elongatum) in transpiration viewpoint

Transpiration, as one of the components of hydrological cycle, has not been paid enough attention yet, while it is necessary for sound utilization of rangelands, mostly located in the arid and semiarid regions. The comparison of the different kinds of rangelands species in terms of transpiration rates provides range managers the required information to achieve optimal forage production for a gi...

Molecular characterization of a cryptic wheat-Thinopyrum intermedium translocation line: evidence for genomic instability in nascent allopolyploid and aneuploid lines

A putative translocation line (#32), together with a disomic addition line (TAI27) and an octo-amphiploid line (Zhong3) of common wheat and Thinopyrum intermedium were characterized by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, using probes covering all seven homoeologous groups of Triticeae. Line 32 was confirmed to be a cryptic translocation line, based on the detection of mult...

Utilization and Performance in Wheat of Yellow Dwarf Virus Resistance Transferred from Thinopyrum Intermedium

Molecular Characterization of a New Wheat-Thinopyrum intermedium Translocation Line with Resistance to Powdery Mildew and Stripe Rust

A new wheat-Thinopyrum translocation line CH13-21 was selected from the progenies derived from a cross between wheat-Th. intermedium partial amphiploid TAI7047 and wheat line Mianyang11. CH13-21 was characterized by using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), multicolor-GISH (mc-GISH), multicolor-fluorescence in situ hybridization (mc-FISH) and chromosome-specific molecular markers. When inocul...

Simultaneous visualization of different genomes (J, JSt and St) in a Thinopyrum intermedium × Thinopyrum ponticum synthetic hybrid (Poaceae) and in its parental species by multicolour genomic in situ hybridization (mcGISH)

Multicolour genomic in situ hybridization (mcGISH) using total genomic DNA probes from Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Săvulescu & Rayss, 1923) Á. Löve, 1984 (genome J(b) or E(b), 2n = 14), and Pseudoroegneria spicata (Pursh, 1814) Á. Löve, 1980 (genome St, 2n = 14) was used to characterize the mitotic metaphase chromosomes of a synthetic hybrid of Thinopyrum intermedium (Host, 1805) Barkworth & D.R. ...
