Transcriptional profiling of wheat and wheat-rye addition lines to identify candidate genes for aluminum tolerance
A large-scale expression profiling study was performed to investigate candidate genes associated with the two quantitative trait loci for aluminum (Al) tolerance (Alt1 and Alt2). They have been identified in r...

Characterization, genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships, and expression of the aluminum tolerance MATE1 gene in Secale species
Aluminum (Al) is the main limiting factor for crop production in acidic soils. Efflux of organic acids is one of the mechanisms that determine Al-tolerance, and an Al-activated citrate transporter (multidrug a...

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,...

PCR derived molecular markers and phylogenetic relationships in theSecale genus
DNA from 22 different species, accessions, cultivars and lines included in theSecale genus were analyzed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using as primers five pairs of oligonucleotides derived from specif...

Rapid identification of Triticeae genotypes from single seeds using the polymerase chain reaction
An easy and quick protocol has been developed for DNA analysis via PCR. Single cereal endosperm or small leaf pieces can be separately processed in several PCR reactions. The resultant PCR patterns are equival...

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...
