Cytokinin oxidase (CKX) plays a crucial role in plant growth and development by reversibly inactivating cytokinin (CTK). Twenty-four primer pairs, designed from ESTs of the TaCKX genes family of common wheat, were used to identify their allelic variations associated with grain size, weight, and filling rate in 169 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from Jing 411 × Hongmangchun 21. TaCKX6a02...

AC Taber is a hard red spring wheat cultivar that has had long-lasting resistance to the leaf rust fungus Puccinia triticina. The objective of this study was determine chromosome location genes in Taber. rust-susceptible Thatcher crossed with develop an F 6 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population. RILs and parents were evaluated for segregation five field plot tests two seedling race BBBDB P. ...

Hundreds of quantitative trait locus (QTL) have been reported in diverse types hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) populations but direct comparisons QTLs different studies and are still challenging due to the lack physical positions for most QTLs. Here, we used International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC) RefSeq v2.0 map all markers associated with leaf spot (Ls), rust (Lr), str...

Recently the TaMYC1 gene encoding bHLH transcription factor has been isolated from the bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome and shown to co-locate with the Pp3 gene conferring purple pericarp color. As a functional evidence of TaMYC1 and Pp3 being the same, higher transcriptional activity of the TaMYC1 gene in colored pericarp compared to uncolored one has been demonstrated. In the current...

Maize with high grain protein and oil contents offers great advantages for human food and animal feed. In this study, grain protein contents of 282 and 263 F7:8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of 2 crosses were evaluated in 4 environments within and between populations. The RILs were developed from crosses between an inbred high-oil maize line and 2 normal dent inbred maize lines. A total of 16...

Medicago truncatula was used to characterize resistance to anthracnose and powdery mildew caused by Colletotrichum trifolii and Erysiphe pisi, respectively. Two isolates of E. pisi (Ep-p from pea and Ep-a from alfalfa) and two races of C. trifolii (races 1 and 2) were used in this study. The A17 genotype was resistant and displayed a hypersensitive response after inoculation with either pathoge...

objective: wheat is the most important crop in iran. self sufficiency in wheat production is one of the economic and food safety policies in the country. in spite of the efforts which have been made in this area, the mean of wheat yield in iran is less than its world average. methods: in order to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the trai...

Aim. To determine the influence of alternative alleles Ppd-D1 gene and phenotypic differences in duration need for vernalization their interaction on earing time grain yield recombinant lines bread winter wheat. Methods. Growing plants field vegetation site, PCR with specific primers Ppd-B1c genes, phenological observations, artificial vernalization, statistical analysis. Results. 136 F7 from c...

The wheat Green Revolution Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b dwarfing alleles are associated with increased grain yields but also reduced early growth seedling emergence, especially if sowing conditions unfavourable. gibberellic acid-responsive, mutagen-derived Rht18 gene was backcrossed from durum (Triticum turgidum subsp. L.) cv. Icaro into tall bread aestivum Halberd using phenotypic selection for plant h...
