Characterization of the polymorphism detected for the granule-bound starch synthase (WX gene) in wild einkorn wheat. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND The WX gene encodes the granule‐bound starch synthase I or waxy protein, which is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds. Wild einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides Link em. Thell.) could be an important source of variation for this gene. RESULTS This study assessed the WX gene variability

Phylogeny, chromosomal mapping and expression analyses of wheat CLAVATA pathway components suggest differential selection on receptor-like kinases, CLEs and T3 WOXes. [PDF]
SUMMARY Ensuring continuous global food security is a major challenge of the 21st century. Wheat contributes approximately 20% of the total calories consumed by humans, and an estimated 60% increase in production will be required by 2050 to meet forecast global demand. In cereals like wheat, inflorescence (ear) size and branching patterns determine the

Can Triticum urartu (Poaceae) be identified by pollen analysis? Implications for detecting the ancestor of the extinct two-grained einkorn-like wheat. [PDF]
The domestication of the one-grained einkorn (Triticum monococcum) in the Near East is relatively well known. However, an independent two-grained einkorn-like domestication has been archaeobotanically detected and scarce information is available ...

Decoding the CBL gene family in durum wheat: Insights into dual ABA signaling pathways and calcium-mediated drought tolerance. [PDF]
Abstract Calcium signaling is an essential mechanism in plant responses to environmental stressors, facilitated by sensors like the calcineurin B‐like (CBL) protein family. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the CBL gene family in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp.

Nucleoredoxin 1 in Wheat: Genomic Analysis and Demonstration of Its Role in Redox Homeostasis and Stress Resilience. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nucleoredoxin 1 (NRX1), a member of the redoxin superfamily, plays a critical role in maintaining redox homeostasis and enhancing stress tolerance in plants. We employed integrated in silico analyses and CRISPR‐Cas9‐based genome editing to functionally characterize NRX1 in Triticum aestivum (wheat) responding to salinity and infection by ...

Genome-wide association analysis of winter survival in a diverse Canadian winter wheat population. [PDF]
Abstract Vrn‐A1 (VERNALIZATION A1) and Fr‐A2 (FROST RESISTANCE A2) have been associated with variation in winter survival of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The beneficial alleles of Vrn‐A1 and Fr‐A2 are largely fixed in Canadian winter wheat germplasm, rendering the associated molecular markers ineffective for marker‐assisted selection (MAS) in elite ...
