Twelve greenbug (Schizaphis graminum (Rondani)) biotype E-resistant synthetic hexaploid wheats synthesized by crossing Triticum dicoccum Schrank. and Aegilops tauschii (Coss.) Schmal. were evaluated for the three known insect resistance categories, including antibiosis, anti-xenosis, and tolerance. Different methods were evaluated for calculating antibiosis and tolerance. Calculating intrinsic ...

The domestication gene Q is largely responsible for the widespread cultivation of wheat because it confers multiple traits. However, underlying molecular mechanisms how regulates these traits remain unclear. In this study, we identify a Q-interacting protein TaLAX1, basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor, through yeast two-hybrid assays. Using biochemical and genetic approaches, explore ro...
