The ScAACT1 gene at the Q alt5 locus as a candidate for increased aluminum tolerance in rye (Secale cereale L.)
Soluble aluminum (Al3+) is a major constraint to plant growth in highly acidic soils, which comprise up to 50% of the world’s arable land. The primary mechanism of Al resistance described in plants is the chelati...

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...

Detection and map** of SSRs in rye ESTs from aluminium-stressed roots
Aluminium toxicity is a major problem for crop production on acid soils. Rye (Secale cereale L.) has one of the most efficient group of genes for aluminium tolerance, at least, four independent and dominant loci,...

Chromosomal location of genes controlling 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase isozymes in cultivated rye
The 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) zymogram phenotypes of wheat, rye and their aneuploid derivates were determined. At le...

The chromosomal location of the embryo plus scutellum alcohol dehydrogenase isozymes in the hexaploid wheat kernel
Analysis of individual parts of Triticum aestivum L. and T. turgidum var. durum kernels showed two classes of alcohol dehydrogenase patterns: 1) A three banded pattern (ADH-1, ADH-2 and ADH-3) for endosperm (Ed) ...

Endosperm peroxidase electrophoresis patterns to distinguish tetraploid from hexaploid wheats
A simple method is proposed to distinguish hexaploid (Triticum aestivum L.) from tetraploid (Triticum turgidum L., durum wheat) cultivated wheats on the basis of peroxidase isozymes coded by genome D. It can also...
