Open AccessMolecular map** of a novel lesion mimic gene (lm4) associated with enhanced resistance to stripe rust in bread wheat
Lesion mimics (LMs) are disease-like symptoms that occur randomly on plant green leaves in the absence of pathogens. A previous study showed that LMs are related to enhanced resistance to a broad spectrum of d...

Open AccessThe genome-wide impact of cadmium on microRNA and mRNA expression in contrasting Cd responsive wheat genotypes
Heavy metal ATPases (HMAs) are responsible for Cd translocation and play a primary role in Cd detoxification in various plant species. However, the characteristics of HMAs and the regulatory mechanisms between...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification, phylogenetic and expression analysis of the heat shock transcription factor family in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Environmental toxicity from non-essential heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), which is released from human activities and other environmental causes, is rapidly increasing. Wheat can accumulate high levels of C...

Open AccessSelection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in disease association data
We studied several methods for selecting single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a disease association study. Two major categories for analytical strategy are the univariate and the set selection approaches....

Open AccessRobust trend tests for genetic association in case-control studies using family data
We studied a trend test for genetic association between disease and the number of risk alleles using case-control data. When the data are sampled from families, this trend test can be adjusted to take into acc...

Open AccessA statistical method for adjusting covariates in linkage analysis with sib pairs
We propose a statistical method that includes the use of longitudinal regression models and estimation procedures for adjusting for covariate effects in applying the Haseman-Elston (HE) method for linkage anal...
