Re-evolution of Durum Wheat by Introducing the Hardness and Glu-D1 Loci

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2019
Durum wheat is an important crop worldwide. In many areas, durum wheat appears to have competitive yield, and biotic and abiotic advantages over bread wheat. What limits durum production? In one respect, the comparatively more limited processing and food

Engineering Maize rayado fino virus for virus‐induced gene silencing

Plant Direct, 2020
Maize rayado fino virus (MRFV) is the type species of the genus Marafivirus in the family Tymoviridae. It infects maize (Zea mays), its natural host, to which it is transmitted by leafhoppers including Dalbulus maidis and Graminella nigrifrons in a ...

Development of soft kernel durum wheat [PDF]

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2019
Kernel texture (grain hardness) is a fundamental and determining factor related to wheat (Triticum spp.) milling, baking and flour utilization. There are three kernel texture classes in wheat: soft and hard hexaploid (T. aestivum), and very hard durum (T.

The endosperm-specific transcription factor TaNAC019 regulates glutenin and starch accumulation and its elite allele improves wheat grain quality.

The Plant Cell, 2021
In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), breeding efforts have focused intensively on improving grain yield and quality. For quality, the content and composition of seed storage proteins (SSPs) determine the elasticity of wheat dough and flour processing quality.

Genome wide genetic dissection of wheat quality and yield related traits and their relationship with grain shape and size traits in an elite × non-adapted bread wheat cross

PLoS ONE, 2019
The genetic gain in yield and quality are two major targets of wheat breeding programs around the world. In this study, a high density genetic map consisting of 10,172 SNP markers identified a total of 43 genomic regions associated with three quality ...

Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci for Pre-Harvest Sprouting Resistance in Wheat Using Berkut × Worrakatta Recombinant Inbred Lines

Agriculture
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in wheat is a significant global challenge influenced by climate. This study aimed to decipher the genetic underpinnings of PHS and identify resistance genes using 309 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the “Berkut” ×

Rhizosphere community selection reveals bacteria associated with reduced root disease

Microbiome, 2021
Background Microbes benefit plants by increasing nutrient availability, producing plant growth hormones, and protecting against pathogens. However, it is largely unknown how plants change root microbial communities. Results In this study, we used a multi-

Post-Anthesis Heat Influences Grain Yield, Physical and Nutritional Quality in Wheat: A Review

Agriculture, 2022
Climate change threatens to impact wheat productivity, quality and global food security. Maintaining crop productivity under abiotic stresses such as high temperature is therefore imperative to managing the nutritional needs of a growing global ...

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

Development of functional markers and expression analysis for a Peroxidase gene TaPod‐A3 on chromosome 7AL in wheat

The Plant Genome
Peroxidase (POD) is one of the key factors affecting the wheat flour quality. Characterization and development of functional markers, as well as expression analysis of POD genes, will help in breeding wheat cultivars and advanced lines with better flour ...
