Chromosomal locations of genes that control wheat endosperm proteins [PDF]
The nutritional valué and the unique dough-forming and baking properties of wheat flour largely depend on its protein contení and composition. Wheat endosperm has poor nutritional quality because it is deficient in certain essential amino acids ...

Comparative genomics of apomictic root-knot nematodes:Hybridization, ploidy, and dynamic genome change [PDF]
The Root-Knot Nematodes (RKN; genus Meloidogyne) are important plant parasites causing substantial agricultural losses. The Meloidogyne incognita group (MIG) of species, most of which are obligatory apomicts (mitotic parthenogens), are extremely ...

Natural polymorphisms in a pair of NSP2 homoeologs can cause loss of nodulation in peanut
Abstract Microbial symbiosis in legumes is achieved through nitrogen-fixing root nodules, and these are important for sustainable agriculture. The molecular mechanisms underlying development of root nodules in polyploid legume crops are largely understudied.

Odd-even effect of rye B-chromosomes on homoeologous pairing in wheat-rye hybrids [PDF]
SUMMARYMeiotic pairing was analyzed in wheat-rye hybrids obtained by crossing Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring with Secale cereale cv. JNK carrying different number of B-chromosomes. The results showed no significant effect of rye B- chromosomes on homoeologous pairing but the variance of distribution of means of bivalent and paired chromosome ...

ABSTRACT Enhancing nutritional quality of oilseed rape requires deeper insight into the genetic control of seed quality traits. This study analysed the effect of varying soil phosphorus (P) levels on seed quality traits in the hybrid cultivar Architect. NIRS and laboratory methods were used to quantify total seed P and phytic acid (IP6) content.

Nucleotide diversity maps reveal variation in diversity among wheat genomes and chromosomes
Background A genome-wide assessment of nucleotide diversity in a polyploid species must minimize the inclusion of homoeologous sequences into diversity estimates and reliably allocate individual haplotypes into their respective genomes.

Reassessment of the evolution of wheat chromosomes 4A, 5A, and 7B. [PDF]
Key messageComparison of genome sequences of wild emmer wheat and Aegilops tauschii suggests a novel scenario of the evolution of rearranged wheat chromosomes 4A, 5A, and 7B.

The complex story of intergenomic recombination in ABB allotriploid bananas. [W099] [PDF]
Bananas (Musa spp.) are a major staple food for hundreds of millions of people in developing countries. The cultivated varieties are seedless and parthenocarpic clones of which the ancestral origin remains to be clarified.

The subtelomeric region is important for chromosome recognition and pairing during meiosis [PDF]
The process of meiosis results in the formation of haploid daughter cells, each of which inherit a half of the diploid parental cells' genetic material.

ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...
