[HTML][HTML] Cloning of the wheat Yr15 resistance gene sheds light on the plant tandem kinase-pseudokinase family
Yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a devastating fungal disease
threatening much of global wheat production. Race-specific resistance (R)-genes are used to …

Microsatellites: genomic distribution, putative functions and mutational mechanisms: a review
Microsatellites, or tandem simple sequence repeats (SSR), are abundant across genomes
and show high levels of polymorphism. SSR genetic and evolutionary mechanisms remain …

Microsatellites within genes: structure, function, and evolution
Recently, increasingly more microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been
found and characterized within protein-coding genes and their untranslated regions (UTRs). …

Genomic asymmetry in allopolyploid plants: wheat as a model
The evolvement of duplicated gene loci in allopolyploid plants has become the subject of
intensive studies. Most duplicated genes remain active in neoallopolyploids contributing either …

Wild emmer genome architecture and diversity elucidate wheat evolution and domestication
Wheat (Triticum spp.) is one of the founder crops that likely drove the Neolithic transition to
sedentary agrarian societies in the Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. Identifying …

A high‐density, SNP‐based consensus map of tetraploid wheat as a bridge to integrate durum and bread wheat genomics and breeding
Consensus linkage maps are important tools in crop genomics. We have assembled a high‐density
tetraploid wheat consensus map by integrating 13 data sets from independent …

A NAC gene regulating senescence improves grain protein, zinc, and iron content in wheat
Enhancing the nutritional value of food crops is a means of improving human nutrition and
health. We report here the positional cloning of Gpc-B1, a wheat quantitative trait locus …

Molecular genetic maps in wild emmer wheat, Triticum dicoccoides: genome-wide coverage, massive negative interference, and putative quasi-linkage
The main objectives of the study reported here were to construct a molecular map of wild
emmer wheat, Triticum dicoccoides, to characterize the marker-related anatomy of the genome, …
