Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) infects many cereal crop and causes serious yield losses.Brachypodium distachyon has emerged as a model species for the study of cool season cereal crops including ba
Plants are subject to various biotic and abiotic stresses, and cuticular wax layer of many land plants provides a protective barrier, which is essential for their survival in a terrestrial environment
Raising the yield potential of wheat has been a major goal of most wheat breeding programs around the world.The use of dwarfing genes to reduce plant height has been one of the main strategies in bree
The improvement of yield potential is an ultimate goal of wheat breeding programs.High yielding and photosynthesis rate are closely related with the flag leaves that are the main resource of photosynt
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f.sp.tritici, is one of the most devastating wheat diseases, widely distributing throughout the world, particularly in humid regions.
High molecular weight (HMW) glutenin subunits are important seed storage proteins in wheat and its related species.Novel HMW glutenin subunits in Aegilops tauschii were detected and characterized.
GIBBERELLIN-INSENSITIVE DWARF1 (GID1) functions as a gibberellin (GA) receptor and is a key componentin the GA signaling pathway.In this paper, three TaGID1 genes, orthologous to rice OsGID1 (the firs
Wheat flour is a basic food ingredient, being used to produce bread, noodles, biscuits and a wide range of other products.Protein of flour is the crucial determinant of these products quality, which a
Rye is an important and valuable gene resource for wheat improvement.However, due to the extensive growing of cultivars with the disease resistance genes from short arm of rye chromosome 1R and the co
