Abstract Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important crops but similar efforts wheat ( Triticum spp.) been more challenging. This is largely owing to size and complexity genome 1 , lack genome-assembly data for multiple lines 2,3 . Here we generated ten chromosome pseudomolecule five scaffold assemblies hexaploid explore genomic diversity among from global breeding programs. Comparative analysis revealed extensive structural rearrangements,...
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is one of the richest plant sources omega-3 fatty acids praised for their health benefits. In this study, extent genetic variability genes encoding stearoyl-ACP desaturase (SAD), and acid 2 (FAD2) 3 (FAD3) was determined by sequencing six paralogous from 120 flax accessions representing a broad range germplasm including some EMS mutant lines. A total 6 alleles sad1 sad2, 21 fad2a, 5 fad2b, 15 fad3a 18 fad3b were identified. Deduced amino sequences predicted 4,...
Little is known about the relationship between expression levels of fatty acid desaturase genes during seed development and (FA) composition in flax. In present study, we looked at promoter structural variations six FA their relative throughout development. Computational analysis nucleotide sequences sad1, sad2, fad2a, fad2b, fad3a fad3b promoters showed several basic transcriptional elements including CAAT TATA boxes, putative target-binding sites for transcription factors, which have been...
The genetics of resistance to loose smut wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) caused by the fungus Ustilago tritici (Pers.) Rostr. is not well understood. This study examines in Sonop (TD-14), a South African spring variety. A doubled haploid (DH) population 163 lines derived from cross Diamont/TD-14 was studied. parents and progenies were inoculated with U. races T2, T9, T39 individually growth facilities at Morden Swift Current, Canada. Loose incidence (LSI) partial (PLSR) assessed. whole genome...
