The wild-relative gene pools of wheat are a rich source of genetic variation for wheat improvement.Karyotypes of eight genotypes of Triticum monococcum subsp. aegilopoides and eight genotypes of Aegilops cylindrica,which grown wild next to each other in different regions in the west of Iran were studied. Root tips were treated in α-bromonaphthalene solution, fixed in chromic acid-formaldehyde f...

The identification of nested motifs in genomic sequences is a complex computational problem. The detection of these patterns is important to allow the discovery of transposable element (TE) insertions, incomplete reverse transcripts, deletions, and/or mutations. In this study, a de novo strategy for detecting patterns that represent nested motifs was designed based on exhaustive searches for pa...

In this note, using Calabi’s method, we construct rotationally symmetric KählerRicci solitons on the total space of direct sum of fixed hermitian line bundle and its projective compactification, where the curvature of hermitian line bundle is Kähler-Einstein. These examples generalize the construction of Koiso, Cao and Feldman-Ilmanen-Knopf. 1 A little motivation In [1], the authors constructed...

Wide hybridization expands the gene pool of cultivated species and can produce genotypes with practical value, often resistant to diseases. In plants, ISSRs are often used for hybrid identification as well as for diversity evaluation. We estimated genetic similarity among advanced genetic stocks of triticale hybrids and identified Aegilops juvenalis introgressions into triticale. Fourteen...

Breeding of agricultural crops adapted to climate change and resistant diseases pests is hindered by a limited gene pool because domestication thousands years human selection. One way increase genetic variation chromosome-mediated transfer from wild relatives cross hybridization. In the case wheat ( Triticum aestivum ), species genus Aegilops are particularly attractive source new genes alleles...

Meiotic chromosome pairing in Triticum aestivum is controlled by genetic systems promoting and reducing pairing. The pairing of homoeologous chromosomes is prevented principally by the activity of a single locus (Ph) distally located on the long arm of chromosome 5B. In certain hybrids, supernumerary chromosomes (B chromosomes) from Aegilops species can compensate for the absence of chromosome ...
