the objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and to investigate the type of gene action in controlling androgenesis in wheat. two wheat cultivars of grebe and houtman were reciprocally crossed with two synthetic genotypes of do1 and pol and then a complete set of the parents, f1, reciprocal f1 (rf1), f2 and back-cross generations (bc1 and bc2) of each cross were used for anthe...

Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Spring Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars under Different Planting Dates

The wheat leaf proteome was mapped and partially characterized to function as a comparative template for future wheat research. In total, 404 proteins were visualized, and 277 of these were selected for analysis based on reproducibility and relative quantity. Using a combination of protein and expressed sequence tag database searching, 142 proteins were putatively identified with an identificat...

Prioritization and Identification of Candidate Genes Associated with Root Traits Under Salinity Stress in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 2-79, a natural isolate of the rhizosphere of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), possesses antagonistic potential toward several fungal pathogens. We report the draft genome sequence of strain 2-79, which comprises 5,674 protein-coding sequences.

The simplified AFLP method was developed and evaluated for identification and genetic diversity studies of wheat cultivars. Selective primers exploited in AFLP assay based on a single cutting enzyme PstI ((PstI)AFLP) generated total of 111 robust fragments, including 67 (60%) monomorphic and 12 (11%) cultivar-specific markers. Average similarity between 15 cultivars was 0.650, and varied from 0...

OBJECTIVE To study the hypolipidemic activity of fresh grass juice of Triticum aestivum in normal rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Freshly prepared Triticum aestivum grass juice was administered to normal rats at the dose of 5 ml/kg and 10 ml/kg orally once daily for 21 days. Blood samples were collected after 24 hours of last administration and used for estimation of lipid profile. Fresh grass ju...
