Doubled haploid (DH) populations are useful to scientists and breeders in both crop improvement and basic research. Current methods of producing DHs usually need in vitro culture for extracting haploids and chemical treatment for chromosome doubling. This report describes a simple method for synthesizing DHs (SynDH) especially for allopolyploid species by utilizing meiotic restitution genes. Th...

Microsatellites are an important constituent of plant genome and distributed across entire genome. In this study, genome-wide analysis of microsatellites in 8 Triticeae species and 9 model plants revealed that microsatellite characteristics were similar among the Triticeae species. Furthermore, genome-wide microsatellite markers were designed in wheat and then used to analyze the evolutionary r...

Piezo channels belong to an important class of cell membrane-bound, Ca2+-permeable, mechanosensitive consisting a pore and multiple transmembrane helices. In plants, the functional aspects have been less studied than other channels. However, few studies that carried out indicate involvement in stress response developmental processes. our analysis, we identified total three genes Triticum aestiv...
