MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in growth, development, and response to environmental changes in plants. Based on the whole-genome shotgun sequencing strategy, more and more wheat miRNAs have been annotated. Now, there is a need for an effective technology to analyse endogenous miRNAs function in wheat. We report here that the modified barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV)-induced miRNAs si...

This research was conducted to evaluate the trend of cadmium accumulation in wheat tissue and cultivated soil affected conventional cropping systems and different growth stage via split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2014-2015 seasonal year. The main factor included two cropping systems (wheat-rice, fallow-wheat) and growth stage at thre...

bacterial leaf streak (bls) caused by xanthomonas translucens pv. cerealis (xtc) is an important disease of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) worldwide. the management methods presently in practice are insufficient to meet current safety and/or efficacy standards. therefore, use of resistant genotypes is the best approach to manage bls. the present study was undertaken to identify possible sources o...

Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus RNA directs the synthesis in vitro of its coat protein in a wheat germ cell-free extract. Optimum conditions for synthesis have been defined, and the effect of spermine on specifically enhancing coat protein formation has been examined. Identity between the in vitro synthesized coat protein and authentic coat protein of Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus was established by an...
