the short arm of rye (secale cereale l.) chromosome 1 (1rs), besides being part of the rye genome, is present in many hundred wheat cultivars as either 1rs.1bl or 1rs.1dl wheat-rye translocation. in this study, the distribution of the wheat–rye translocation was examined in 33 iranian winter and spring wheat cultivars, nine of which had a known donor of 1rs.1bl translocation and the other 24 we...

Genomic DNA extraction with a high quantity and quality is a basic requirement in molecular biology. The DNA obtained was free of any contamination proteins, polysaccharide, polyphenols and colored pigments. These compounds would interfere with the genomic isolation procedures and downstream reactions such as restriction enzyme analysis and gene amplification. The isolated genomic DNA was fo...

The timing and rate of genomic variation induced by allopolyploidization in the intergeneric wheat-rye (Triticum spp. - Secale cereale L.) hybrid triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) was studied using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses with 2 sets of primers, EcoRI-MseI (E-M) and PstI-MseI (P-M), which primarily amplify repetitive and low-copy sequences, respectively. The re...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the study is to elucidate the sequence composition of the short arm of rye chromosome 1 (Secale cereale) with special focus on its gene content, because this portion of the rye genome is an integrated part of several hundreds of bread wheat varieties worldwide. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Multiple Displacement Amplification of 1RS DNA, obtained from flow sorted 1R...

The dynamics of rye chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis was analyzed in a subset comprising 33 F3 lines from the cross of wheat, Psathyrostachys huashanica amphiploid (AABBDDNsNs) and hexaploid triticale (AABBRR), as visualized by genomic in situ hybridization. The results indicated that 31 of the total lines contained 4-14 rye chromosomes. Twenty-eight combinations had more rye chromosomes ...

In the present study bacteriophages isolated from rainbow trout farms and sewage treatment plants were genetically identified and their effectiveness on Yersinia ruckeri isolates from clinical cases of red mouth disease was investigated.  Fish samples suspected to red mouth disease were collected from rainbow trout farms located in west Azerbaijan. Y. ruckeri, the causative agent of red mouth d...

Repetitive DNA sequences in the terminal heterochromatin of rye (Secale cereale) chromosomes have consequences for the structural and functional organization of chromosomes. The large-scale genomic organization of these regions was studied using the telomeric repeat from Arabidopsis and clones of three nonhomologous, tandemly repeated, subtelomeric DNA families with complex but contrasting high...
