Meiotic pairing between homoeologous chromosomes in polyploid wheat is inhibited by the Ph1 locus on the long arm of chromosome 5 in the B genome. Aegilops speltoides (genomes SS), the closest relative of the progenitor of the wheat B genome, is polymorphic for genetic suppression of Ph1. Using this polymorphism, two major suppressor loci, Su1-Ph1 and Su2-Ph1, have been mapped in Ae. speltoides...

We have recently produced EMS-induced knock-out mutations at the Gc2 locus that were derived from Ae. sharonensis. Our data suggest that the Gc2 mutant is a knock-out of the gene encoding for the breaking agent. For analyzing the interactions of the Gc2 mutants with other Gc genes from different Aegilops species, we have crossed stocks with functional and mutant Gc2 genes with stocks having Gc ...

Using Roche/454 technology, we sequenced the chloroplast genomes of 12 Triticeae species, including bread wheat, barley and rye, as well as the diploid progenitors and relatives of bread wheat Triticum urartu, Aegilops speltoides and Ae. tauschii. Two wild tetraploid taxa, Ae. cylindrica and Ae. geniculata, were also included. Additionally, we incorporated wild Einkorn wheat Triticum boeoticum ...

In attempts to identify the phylogenetic donors of cytoplasm to EmmerDinkel and Timopheevi groups of wheat (Triticum), and the Aegilops kotschyiAe. variabilis complex, the restriction fragment patterns of chloroplast DNAs of representative species were compared with those of their putative diploid ancestors. The following seven restriction enzymes were used; BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII, KpnI, PstI, S...

Background: Artichoke extract (AE), containing natural antioxidant compounds, can be considered as a good source of antioxidant potential. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate antioxidant abilities of AE on broiler meat quality. METHODS: 200 Ross chicken broilers were divided into five equal groups and received 100, 200, 300, and 500 mg/liter of AE in drinking water and pure water ...

the quality traits of triticum dicoccoides ku-13441 (triticum turgidum l. var. dicoccoides (aabb, 2n= 4x= 28)) were analyzed by mixograph, and the results showed that t. dicoccoides ku-13441 had desirable qualities in gluten strength and flour stirring tolerance. subsequently, seventeen novel full-orf α-gliadin genes and thirty-five pseudogenes were cloned and sequenced from t. dicoccoides ku-1...
