The wheat leaf rust resistance gene Lr1 encodes a typical coiled-coil nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat (CC-NBS-LRR) of protein containing 1 344 amino acids. WR003, cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker is derived from the LRR regions Lr1. In this study, worldwide collection 120 Aegilops tauschii accessions and 282 hexaploid varieties was screened for alleles using spec...

The bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype "Chinese Spring" ("CS") is the reference base in wheat genetics and genomics. Pericentric rearrangements in this genotype were systematically assessed by analyzing homoeoloci for a set of nonredundant genes from Brachypodium distachyon, Triticum urartu, and Aegilops tauschii in the CS chromosome shotgun sequence obtained from individual chromosome...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of salt stress on some agro-physiological traits in ten varieties of bread (triticum aestivum l.) and durum (triticum turgidum l.) wheats in seedling stage. a greenhouse experiment was carried out as a split plot experiment based on a completely randomized design with four replications in hydroponic condition. different agronomic and physiol...

Salt stress is one of the major constraints for wheat cultivation inIranand leads to a considerable loss in crop yield each year. In high salinity soils, the reduced osmotic potential of soil solutes may cause physiological drought. In this study the salt tolerance of different drought-tolerant bread wheat genotypes were studied by examining various agronomic and physiological traits, inclu...

to enhance germplasms of bread wheat, a gene, encoding the smallest y-type high molecular weight glutenin subunit (hmw gs) gene (12.4t) from the d-genome using synthetic hexaploid approach was introgressed into bread wheat. tetraploid wheat (t. turgidum cv. langdon) was crossed with t. tauschii accession aus24092. immature embryos were rescued and placed onto b5 regeneration media. hybrid f1 pl...

A marker-assisted background selection (MABS)-based gene introgression approach in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was optimized, where 97% or more of a recurrent parent genome (RPG) can be recovered in just two backcross (BC) generations. A four-step MABS method was developed based on 'Plabsim' computer simulations and wheat genome structure information. During empirical optimization of this meth...
