From the rye Alt3 and Alt4 aluminum tolerance loci to orthologous genes in other cereals
The major limit to plant growth in acid soils is the presence of toxic aluminum (Al) cations, which limit growth by inhibiting root elongation. Aluminum tolerance in rye is controlled by (at least) four indepe...

Candidate gene identification of an aluminum-activated organic acid transporter gene at the Alt4 locus for aluminum tolerance in rye (Secale cereale L.)
Among cereal crops, rye is one of the most tolerant species to aluminum. A candidate gene approach was used to determine the likely molecular identity of an Al tolerance locus (Alt4). Using PCR primers designed f...

A new aluminum tolerance gene located on rye chromosome arm 7RS
Rye has one of the most efficient groups of genes for aluminum tolerance (Alt) among cultivated species of Triticeae. This tolerance is controlled by, at least, three independent and dominant loci (Alt1, Alt2, an...

The use of ISSR and RAPD markers for detecting DNA polymorphism, genotype identification and genetic diversity among barley cultivars with known origin
The potential of bulk analyses of RAPD and ISSR-PCR markers for fingerprinting purposes was evaluated using ten RAPD and ten ISSR primers. The phylogenetic relationships of 16 barley cultivars from different c...

Molecular markers linked to the aluminium tolerance gene Alt1 in rye (Secale cereale L.)
Rye has one of the most efficient group of genes for aluminium (Al) tolerance among cultivated species of Triticeae. This tolerance is controlled by at least two independent and dominant loci (Alt1 and Alt3) loc...

Chromosomal location of PCR fragments as a source of DNA markers linked to aluminium tolerance genes in rye
To identify and locate rye DNA sequences homologous to three wheat c-DNAs (wali1, wali2 and wali5) whose expression is induced by aluminium (Al) stress, we designed three pairs of specific primers. They were used...

Genetic control of aluminium tolerance in rye (Secale cereale L.)
Aluminium (Al) tolerance in roots of two cultivars (“Ailés” and “JNK”) and two inbred lines (“Riodeva” and “Pool”) of rye was studied using intact roots immersed in a nutrient solution at a controlled pH and ...

Sex influence on recombination frequency in Secale cereale L.
The variation in recombination frequency (rf) is important to plant breeders since their major objective is to obtain favorable recombinants of linked genes. One source of variation in rf is sex. Sex differenc...
