As one of the essential cereal crops, wheat provides 20% calories and proteins consumed by humans. Due to population expansion, dietary shift climate change, it is challenging for breeders develop new varieties meeting production requirements. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has distinct advantages over conventional in plant breeding, such as being time-saving, cost-effective goal-oriented. Thi...

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat sequence (NBS-LRR) protein is the main immune receptor in plants and participates plant resistance to pathogens. When NBS-LRR activated by pathogen’s effector protein, its conformation changes from an inhibitory state state, then it activates downstream signal transduction initiates defense responses inhibit growth of The has major three domains: NBS, LRR ...

Brown planthopper (BPH) has become the most devastating insect pests of rice and a serious threat to production. To combat newly occurring virulent BPH populations, it is still urgent explore more new broad-spectrum resistance genes integrate them into cultivars. In present study, we explored genetic basis in IRGC 8678. We identified mapped gene Bph43 region ~380 kb on chromosome 11. Genes enco...

Rexoid, curly hair mutations have been selected to develop new domestic cat breeds. The Selkirk Rex is the most recently established curly-coated cat breed originating from a spontaneous mutation that was discovered in the United States in 1987. Unlike the earlier and well-established Cornish and Devon Rex breeds with curly-coat mutations, the Selkirk Rex mutation is suggested as autosomal domi...

Pea ( Pisum sativum L., 1753) is an essential pulse crop of global importance, which a source complete high-quality protein. Breeding new pea cultivars with improved economic valuable traits and high adaptive abilities important for increasing the production high-protein grain. The key role in breeding assigned to initial material. A decrease genetic diversity material cultivated plants, includ...
