The biotroph wheat powdery mildew, Blumeria graminis (DC.) E.O. Speer, f. sp. tritici Em. Marchal (Bgt), has undergone long and dynamic co-evolution with its hosts. In the last 10,000 years, processes involved in plant evolution under domestication, altered host-population structure. Recently both virulence and genomic profiling separated Bgt into two groups based on their origin from domestic ...

the quality traits of triticum dicoccoides ku-13441 (triticum turgidum l. var. dicoccoides (aabb, 2n= 4x= 28)) were analyzed by mixograph, and the results showed that t. dicoccoides ku-13441 had desirable qualities in gluten strength and flour stirring tolerance. subsequently, seventeen novel full-orf α-gliadin genes and thirty-five pseudogenes were cloned and sequenced from t. dicoccoides ku-1...

Background and objectives Utilization of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) can be enhanced by increasing grain flour protein content. One strategy to increase content is introducing the functional Gpc-B1 allele from wild emmer dicoccoides). Findings Introduction into soft kernel increased 17 g/kg, dough strength as evidenced SDS sedimentation volume Mixograph mixing parameters, strai...

Lodging is one of the most important factors that affect wheat final yield. Emmer [Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccum (Schrank ex Schübl.) Thell.] a likely gene source to improve durum [T. L. (Desf.) Husn.]; however, it highly susceptible lodging. The genetic studies traits related lodging in crosses × emmer remains largely understudied. Here, we used progenies (six generations) derived from two...

In Mediterranean regions, the performance of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. Desf.) yield often varies due to significant genotype × environment interaction (GEI); therefore, stability is an important consideration in breeding programs. The aim this research was explore GEI pattern and 24 promising lines, selected by ICARDA several African countries (seven elites, four commercial varieti...
