in order to investigate the effect of phosphorus fertilizer and spraying fe chellat in micronutrients absorption rate, rate of proline and soluble carbohydrates in bread wheat and some of its ancestral species in dryland condition, a factorial experiment was conducted with three factors consist of: p fertilizer (in two levels), spraying fe chellat (in two levels) and different species of wheat ...

The somatic chromosomes of common wheat, Triticum aestivum L. (2n = 6x = 42), and those of two of its diploid progenitors and T. speltoides, have been individually identified by a Giemsa staining technique. In wheat, telocentric chromosomes were used to aid the recognition of individual chromosomes, and an ideogram has been constructed depicting the C-band positions. There is no similarity in t...

in this study, 110 samples of bread wheat, aegilops crassa, ae. cylindrica and ae. tauschii were investigated to identify low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits. overall, the four alleles in term of the analysis of sds-page gels were detected. the ʻaʼ allele with 45% has the greatest frequency, and after that, ʻbʼ, ʻcʼ and ʻdʼ alleles were with 38.1%, 11.8% and 9.1% frequencies, respectively; h...

Some abnormal growth phenotypes including hybrid necrosis are often observed in F1 hybrids (genome constitution, ABD, 2n=21) and synthetic hexaploid wheat lines (AABBDD, 2n=42) which were artificially produced by crossing between tetraploid wheat (AABB, 2n=28) and Ae. tauschii (DD, 2n=14). The hybrid necrosis phenotypes are generally divided into type I and type II necrosis. In the hybrid plant...

In hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (AABBDD, C=17 000 Mb), repeat DNA accounts for approximately 90% of the genome, of which transposable elements (TEs) constitute 60%-80%. Despite the dynamic evolution of TEs, our previous study indicated that the majority of TEs are conserved and collinear between the homologous wheat genomes, based on identical insertion patterns. In this study, we exp...

Synthetic hexaploid wheat is an effective genetic resource for transferring agronomically important genes from Aegilops tauschii to common wheat. Wide variation in grain size and shape, one of the main targets for wheat breeding, has been observed among Ae. tauschii accessions. To identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for grain size and shape variation in the wheat D genome un...

Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB), a disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum, is threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum) production worldwide. Multiple inverse gene-for-gene interactions involving recognition of effectors (NEs) sensitivity genes play major roles in causing SNB. One interaction involves gene Snn3 and P. NE SnTox3. Here, we used map-based strategy clon...

Timing of flowering is a reproductive trait that has significant impact on fitness in plants. In contrast to recent advances in understanding the molecular basis of floral transition, few empirical studies have addressed questions concerning population processes of flowering time diversification within species. We analyzed chloroplast DNA genealogical structure of flowering time variation in ce...
