Taxon-specific small RNA loci are widespread in eukaryotic genomes, yet their role lineage-specific adaptation, phenotypic diversification, and speciation is poorly understood. Here, we report that a locus monkeyflowers (Mimulus), YELLOW UPPER (YUP), contains an inverted repeat region produces interfering RNAs (siRNAs) phased pattern. Although the derived from partial duplication of protein-coding gene not involved flower pigmentation, one siRNAs targets represses master regulator floral...

Recently the TaMYC1 gene encoding bHLH transcription factor has been isolated from bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome and shown to co-locate with Pp3 conferring purple pericarp color. As a functional evidence of being same, higher transcriptional activity in colored compared uncolored one demonstrated. In current study, we present additional strong evidences be synonym Pp3. Furthermore, have found differences between dominant recessive Pp3(TaMyc1) alleles. Light enhancement was...

Blue aleurone is a useful and interesting trait in common wheat that was derived from related species. Here, transcriptomes of blue white were compared for isolating 1 (Ba1) transferred Thinopyrum ponticum. In the genes involved anthocyanin biosynthesis, only basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, ThMYC4E, had higher transcript level phenotype, homologous to on chromosome 4 Triticum aestivum. ThMYC4E carried characteristic domains (bHLH-MYC_N, HLH ACT-like) bHLH clustered with...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars possessing purple grain arethought to be more nutritious because of high anthocyanin contents in the pericarp. Comparative transcriptome analysis (cv Gy115) and white pericarps was carried out using next-generation sequencing technology. There were 23,642 unigenes significantly differentially expressed pericarps, including 9945 up-regulated 13,697 down-regulated. The mainly involved encoding components metabolic pathways, flavonoid biosynthesis pathway...

Drought is among the most common abiotic constraints of crop growth, development, and productivity. Integrating different omics approaches offers a possibility for deciphering metabolic pathways fundamental mechanisms involved in stress tolerance. Here, we explored transcriptional post-transcriptional changes drought-stressed tomato plants using transcriptomic proteomic profiles to determine molecular dynamics drought responses. We identified 22467 genes 5507 proteins, which expression 3765...

Selenium (Se), an essential micronutrient in both animals and humans, has various biological functions, its deficiency can lead to diseases. The most common method for increasing Se uptake is the consumption of Se-rich plants, which transform inorganic into organic forms. Wheat eaten daily by many people. content Aegilops tauschii (Ae. tauschii), one ancestors hexaploid wheat, generally higher than that wheat. In this study, two genotypes Ae. with contrasting Se-accumulating abilities were...

Introduction Oat ( Avena sativa L.) is an important cereal crop grown worldwide for grain and forage, owing to its high adaptability diverse environments. However, the genetic genomics research of oat lagging behind that other staple crops. Methods In this study, a collection 288 lines originating was evaluated using 2,213 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers obtained from iSelect 6K-beadchip array study diversity, population structure, linkage disequilibrium (LD) as well...

Wide hybrids can have novel traits or changed expression of a quantitative trait that their parents do not have. These phenomena long been noticed, yet the mechanisms are poorly understood. High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) seed storage proteins encoded by Glu-1 genes only express in endosperm wheat and its related species. Novel HMW-GS compositions observed hybrids. This research elucidated molecular investigating causative factors changes wheat-rye coding sequences leaves F1...

Abstract To study the D-genome of wild wheat relative Aegilops tauschii Cosson at hexaploid level, we developed a synthetic doubled-haploid (DH) population, SynDH3. This population was derived from spontaneous chromosome doubling triploid F 1 hybrid plants obtained cross between Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccon PI377655 and A. strangulata AS66 × AS87. SynDH3 is diploidization-hexaploid DH containing recombinant D chromosomes two different genotypes, with A B T. being homogenous across entire...

Abstract Glutathione-S-transferase (GST, EC2.5.1.18) multifunctional protease is important for detoxification, defense against biotic and abiotic stresses, secondary metabolic material transport plant growth development. In this study, 71 members of the BpGST family were identified from entire Betula platyphylla Suk. genome. Most encode proteins with amino acid lengths ranging 101 to 875 localized cytoplasm by a prediction. BpGSTs can be divided into seven subfamilies, majority birch U F...

The red coleoptile trait can help monocotyledonous plants withstand stresses, and key genes responsible for the have been isolated from Triticum aestivum, urartu, monococcum, but no corresponding research has reported Aegilops tauschii. In this research, transcriptome analysis was performed to isolate candidate gene controlling white in Ae. There were 5348 upregulated, differentially-expressed (DEGs) 4761 downregulated DEGs vs. plants. Among these DEGs, 12 structural two transcription...

Deficiencies of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in human food afflict a large proportion the world’s population. Wheat is major source minerals. One way to enhance bread wheat’s ability enrich these minerals would be take advantage diversity wild species by creating synthetic hexaploid wheat (SW). In this study, two (Fe Zn) concentrated grain Aegilops tauschii Coss. (2n = 2x 14, DD), Triticum turgidum L. 4x 28, AABB), 33 lines their corresponding SW 42, AABBDD) were evaluated. The results showed...
