Wheat-derived foodstuffs represent about one-fifth of the calories consumed by humans worldwide. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops throughout the world, and it has been extensively studied for its allelopathic potential. In contrast, for allelopathy in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum), our knowledge is partial and fragmentary. Through highlighting r...

the objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and to investigate the type of gene action in controlling androgenesis in wheat. two wheat cultivars of grebe and houtman were reciprocally crossed with two synthetic genotypes of do1 and pol and then a complete set of the parents, f1, reciprocal f1 (rf1), f2 and back-cross generations (bc1 and bc2) of each cross were used for anthe...

Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Spring Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cultivars under Different Planting Dates

The wheat leaf proteome was mapped and partially characterized to function as a comparative template for future wheat research. In total, 404 proteins were visualized, and 277 of these were selected for analysis based on reproducibility and relative quantity. Using a combination of protein and expressed sequence tag database searching, 142 proteins were putatively identified with an identificat...

Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 2-79, a natural isolate of the rhizosphere of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), possesses antagonistic potential toward several fungal pathogens. We report the draft genome sequence of strain 2-79, which comprises 5,674 protein-coding sequences.

The classic wheat evolutionary history is one of adaptive radiation of the diploid Triticum/Aegilops species (A, S, D), genome convergence and divergence of the tetraploid (Triticum turgidum AABB, and Triticum timopheevii AAGG) and hexaploid (Triticum aestivum, AABBDD) species. We analyzed Acc-1 (plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase) and Pgk-1 (plastid 3-phosphoglycerate kinase) genes to determine ph...

Prioritization and Identification of Candidate Genes Associated with Root Traits Under Salinity Stress in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

PCR-based rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosome-specific markers can contribute to the effective utilization of elite genes of rye in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs. In the present study, 578 new PCR-based rye-specific markers have been developed by using specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) technology, and 76 markers displayed different polymorphism among rye K...

silicon is known to ameliorate the deleterious effects of drought on plant growth. we evaluated growth of wheat (triticum aestivum l. cv. chamran) under water-deficit stress induced by polyethylene glycol as affected by si application. in this article, the effects of si (as potassium silicate) on some parameters related to growth, chlorophyll concentration relative water content (rwc), electrol...
