The molecular genetics of vernalization, defined as the promotion of flowering by cold treatment, is still poorly understood in cereals. To better understand this mechanism, we cloned and characterized a gene that we named TaVRT-1 (wheat [Triticum aestivum] vegetative to reproductive transition-1). Molecular and sequence analyses indicated that this gene encodes a protein homologous to the MADS...

The expression of 1,613 transposable elements (TEs) represented in the Affymetrix Wheat Genome Chip was examined during cold treatment in crowns of four hexaploid wheat genotypes that vary in tolerance to cold and in flowering time. The TE expression profiles showed a constant level of expression throughout the experiment in three of the genotypes. In winter Norstar, the most cold-hardy of the ...

Image co-segmentation is popular with its ability to detour supervisory data by exploiting the common information in multiple images. In this paper, we aim at a more challenging branch called scene image co-segmentation, which jointly segments multiple images captured from the same scene into regions corresponding to their respective classes. We first put forward a novel representation named Vi...

A major objective of quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies is to find genes/markers that can be used in breeding programs via marker assisted selection (MAS). From an extensive review, we surveyed the distribution of QTL for yield and yield-related traits on wheat genome. In order to identify the important regions involving in these traits, QTL meta-analysis was performed. As a result, 55 MQTL ...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistant line Soru#1 was hybridized with the German cultivar Naxos to generate 131 recombinant inbred lines for QTL mapping. The population was phenotyped for FHB and associated traits in spray inoculated experiments in El Batán (Mexico), spawn inoculated experiments in Ås (Norway) and point inoculated experiments in Nanjing (China), with two field trials at each loc...

Phenotypic plasticity is one of the main mechanisms adaptation to abiotic stresses via changes in critical developmental stages. Altering flowering phenology a key evolutionary strategy plant stresses, achieve maximum possible reproduction. The current study first apply linear regression residuals as drought scores while considering variation and traits under non-stress conditions. We character...
