The high level of identity among duplicated homoeologous genomes in tetraploid pasta wheat presents substantial challenges for de novo transcriptome assembly. To solve this problem, we develop a specialized bioinformatics workflow that optimizes assembly and separation merged homoeologs. evaluate our strategy, sequence assemble the one diploid ancestors wheat, compare both assemblies with benchmark set 13,472 full-length, non-redundant bread cDNAs. A total 489 million 100 bp paired-end reads...
During wheat senescence, leaf components are degraded in a coordinated manner, releasing amino acids and micronutrients which subsequently transported to the developing grain. We have previously shown that simultaneous downregulation of Grain Protein Content (GPC) transcription factors, GPC1 GPC2, greatly delays senescence disrupts nutrient remobilization, therefore provide valuable entry point identify genes involved micronutrient transport generated loss-of-function mutations for GPC2...
Abstract Wheat grain protein content ( GPC ) is important for human nutrition and has a strong influence on the quality of pasta bread. The objective this study was to analyse introduction G pc‐ B 1 allele into two A rgentinean bread wheat cultivars. Near‐isogenic lines were developed in ‘ P ro INTA O asis’ ranar’ using marker‐assisted selection. showed significant (P = 0.01) increase 0.001) decrease weight comparison with control without .

Abstract In order to maintain global food security, it will be necessary increase yields of the cereal crops that provide most calories and protein for world’s population, which includes common wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). An important yield component is number grain-holding spikelets form on spike during inflorescence development. Characterizing gene regulatory networks controlling timing rate development facilitate selection natural induced variants contribute increased spikelet yield....
Spelt (Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta) is part of the so-called ancient wheats. These types wheats are experiencing a revival as they have been proposed to be healthier than conventional wheat. However, given condition spelt not substantiated by solid scientific evidence. The objective this study was analyze genetic variability for several grain components, related nutritional quality (arabinoxylans, micronutrients, phytic acid) in set and common wheat genotypes determinate if potentially...
Abstract In the context of climate change, high temperature is one main abiotic stresses hampering durum wheat production. Through characterization an international panel 271 genotypes, this study investigates effects heat stress on quality traits and identifies which glutenins ( Glu‐1 , Glu‐2 Glu‐3 loci) alleles are most important to obtain gluten strength under optimal conditions. parallel with wide variability observed in panel, genotype environmental effects, including their interaction,...
Durum wheat is key source of calories and nutrients for many regions the world. Demand it predicted to increase. Further efforts are therefore needed develop new cultivars adapted different future scenarios. Developing a novel cultivar takes, on average, 10 years advanced lines tested during process, in general, under standardized conditions. Although evaluating candidate genotypes commercial release on-farm conditions strategy that strongly recommended, its application durum particularly...
Continuous development of new wheat varieties is necessary to satisfy the demands farmers, industry, and consumers. The evaluation candidate genotypes for commercial release under different on-farm conditions a strategy that has been strongly recommended assess performance stability cultivars in heterogeneous environments farming systems. main objectives this study were evaluate grain yield quality ten across six contrasting farmers' field with irrigation nitrogen fertilization levels,...
Wheat is one of the most widely grown crops in world. One traits that defines wheat quality grain hardness, which determined by puroindolines (PINA and PINB) proteins encoded with Pina-D1 Pinb-D1 genes. In this study, diversity was evaluated a collection 271 Iranian common (Triticum aestivum L. ssp. aestivum) landraces, whose kernels had previously been classified as hard or semi-hard based on PSI analysis. Three alleles described associated were detected collection: Pinb-D1b 11 accessions,...
Improvement of the nutritional quality wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been quite challenging, due, in part, to limited variation found modern cultivars and strong effect exerted by environment, which hinder selection process. The aim this study was characterise mineral profile grains 35 Argentinean-adapted, mostly spring two successive years. Concentrations most nutrients spanned approximately a two-fold range. Our revealed but also that some key differences among genotypes are maintained...
