The relationship between chromosome deletion in wheat and protein expression were investigated using Chinese Spring and fine deletion line 3BS-8. Through 2-DE (2-D electrophoresis) analysis, no differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found in leaf samples; however, 47 DEPs showed at least two-fold abundance variation (p < 0.05) in matured wheat grains and 21 spots were identified by tande...

Benzyl-o-vanillin and benzimidazole nucleus serve as important pharmacophore in drug discovery. The benzyl vanillin (2-(benzyloxy)-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) compound shows anti-proliferative activity in HL60 leukemia cancer cells and can effect cell cycle progression at G2/M phase. Its apoptosis activity was due to disruption of mitochondrial functioning. In this study, we have studied a series of...

Resistance gene analog polymorphism (RGAP) markers linked to Fusarium head blight resistance (FHB) and co-localize with Qfhs.ndsu-3BS were identified using F3 plants and F3:5 lines derived from a ‘Wangshuibai’ (resistant) / ‘Seri82’ (susceptible) cross. The mapping populations were genotyped using 50 degenerate primers designed based on the known R genes. Out of the 50 designed primer combinati...

Title of Document: EVALUATION OF SCAB RESISTANCE QUANTITATIVE TRAIT LOCI (QTL) EFFECTS ON WHEAT Jing Kang, M.S., 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor Dr. José Costa, Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of wheat (Triticum aestivum), caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a disease that periodically strikes the mid-Atlantic region of the USA. Breeding fo...

Wheat leaf rust is an important disease worldwide. Growing resistant cultivars is an effective means to control the disease. In the present study, 244 recombinant inbred lines from Zhou 8425B/Chinese Spring cross were phenotyped for leaf rust severities during the 2011-2012, 2012-2013, 2013-2014, and 2014-2015 cropping seasons at Baoding, Hebei province, and 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 cropping sea...

We compare a nonfactorizable charming-loop correction to an exclusive FCNC $B$ decay given in terms of the three-particle Bethe-Salpeter amplitude (3BS) meson, $⟨0|\overline{q}(x){G}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\nu}}(z)b(0)|B(p)⟩$, with corresponding $B$-meson semileptonic form factor. In spite certain similarities, these two corrections are shown have substantial differences: form-factor is d...
