The common wheat relative species are important germplasm for wheat breeding. In the present study, novel allelic variants at Glu-B3 locus were cloned to provide gene resources for wheat quality improvement. Four Glu-B3-locus ...

{Objective} The objectives of this study were to characterize the allelic variation at Lr34/Yr18/Pm38 locus in 273 CIMMYT wheat cultivars (lines), evaluate their resistance against stripe rust, leaf rust and powdery mildew, ...

Lipoxygenase (LOX) activity in grain influences the color and processing quality of wheat (Triticum spp.)-based products. Characterization of LOX genes and development of functional markers are of importance for marker-assisted ...

(Objective) Phytoene synthase (Psy) gene is a critical gene influencing biosynthetic pathway of yellow pigment (YP) in common wheat. The aims of this study were to detect the allelic variations of Psy-A1 gene in 217 Chinese ...

(Objective) Characterization of genes Lr34/Yr18, Rht-B1b (Rht1) and Rht-D1b (Rht2) in 263 CIMMYT wheat cultivars and advanced lines will benefit the improvement of rust resistance and plant height in Chinese wheat breeding ...

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many important physiological and developmental processes in plants. The objective of this study was to clone the ABA 8-?-hydroxylase gene in common wheat. In the present ...
