SNP ing Aegilops tauschii genetic diversity and the birthplace of bread wheat

SNPing Aegilops tauschii genetic diversity and the birthplace of bread wheat.

Towards the end of World War II, McFadden & Sears (1946) published a lengthy and classic paper on the origin of hexaploid or bread wheat. In the appendix to this paper they acknowledged that Kihara (1944) had also independently identified Aegilops tauschii (syn. Ae. squarrosa, Tritcum tauschii) as the D-genome donor of bread wheat. Since then, there have been many studies on the taxonomy, biolo...

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Dissecting miRNAs in Wheat D Genome Progenitor, Aegilops tauschii

As the post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, microRNAs or miRNAs comprise an integral part of understanding how genomes function. Although miRNAs have been a major focus of recent efforts, miRNA research is still in its infancy in most plant species. Aegilops tauschii, the D genome progenitor of bread wheat, is a wild diploid grass exhibiting remarkable population diversity. Due t...

Comparative Analyses of the Genetic Diversity Among Bread Wheat Genotypes Based on RAPD and SSR Markers

Genetic Mapping of an Aegilops tauschii–derived Hessian Fly Resistance Gene in Common Wheat

Hessian fl y [Mayetiola destructor (Say)] is a major threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in the eastern United States. Cultivar releases containing major Hessian fl y resistance genes have proven effective in minimizing losses caused by this pest. Nevertheless, the ephemeral nature of major gene resistance necessitates the identifi cation of novel sources of resistance. Hessian fl...
