Genetic Transformation of Russian Wheat Cultivars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ranks first among cereal crops cultivated in Russia and Russia is one of the major wheat producers in the world. Though there is a great demand for Russian wheat varieties with resistance to diseases and other environmental stress, there is a limitation at transferring resistance to crop plants by the complexity of stress tolerance traits, as most of these are quantitatively linked traits. Nonetheless, the direct introduction of a small number of genes by genetic engineering offers convenient alternative and a rapid approach for the improvement of stress tolerance.

An Improved Agrobacterium Mediated Transformation System in Wheat
Wheat is the world’s largest volume crop traded internationally. Foliar diseases are the main biotic restriction reducing yield in wheat crops. Wheat productivity can be enhanced through controlling foliar disease through the use of resistant cultivars. Plant breeders are providing considerable attention to wheat genetic improvement from the past few years to minimize losses due to pests and pa...
متن کاملEnhancement of aluminum tolerance in wheat by addition of chromosomes from the wild relative Leymus racemosus
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the key factor limiting wheat production in acid soils. Soil liming has been used widely to increase the soil pH, but due to its high cost, breeding tolerant cultivars is more cost-effective mean to mitigate the problem. Tolerant cultivars could be developed by traditional breeding, genetic transformation or introgression of genes from wild relatives. We used 30 wheat ...

Genetic transformation studies were carried out to standardize a protocol for Agrobacterium -mediated genetic transformation of three economically important strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) cultivars Kurdistan’, Camarosa’, and ‘Paros’. Shoot regeneration frequency 72, 65 and 30% was obtained on MS (1) basal medium supplemented with 2% glucose and 4 mg/l TDZ for Camarosa, Kurdistan and Paro...

To determine seed storage protein banding patterns in some bread wheat cultivars and the similarity of banding patterns among different cultivars, an experiment based on seed storage protein electrophoresis (albumin and globulin) was performed. Water and salt soluble proteins were extracted in sixteen wheat cultivars using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and banding pattern was obtained. Stu...
متن کاملAssessment of Genetic Diversity of Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars using Microsatellite Markers
Determining the level of genetic diversity and relationships among genotypes is foundation for identifying the appropriate parents in different breeding objects. In present study, the genetic diversity of 22 wheat cultivars were tested using 22 pairs of SSR primers. Out of 24 detected alleles, 11 were able to show desirable polymorphism. In average 2.18 alleles per locus were generated, in whic...
