Special heterogeneous cytoplasm suppresses the expression of the gene producing multi-ovary in common wheat
Generally, there is only one seed in each floret of the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, DUOII is a multi-ovary variety that has 2–3 pistils and 3 stamens. The genetics of DUOII are very stable; and ...

Molecular map** of resistance gene to the English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, in a Chinese wheat line XN98-10-35
The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae (F.), is a destructive pest in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and it appears in wheat production regions of China and other areas worldwide. Breeding resistant varie...

Isolation and characterization of a wheat F8-1 homolog required for physiological male sterility induced by a chemical hybridizing agent (CHA) SQ-1
We investigated the relationship between a pollen-specific protein homolog and pollen abortion in an SQ-1-induced male sterile line of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We previously determined that EST S414 (Ta20678...

Differential proteomic analysis of polyubiquitin-related proteins in chemical hybridization agent-induced wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) male sterility
Protein polyubiquitination is a significant regulator of diverse physiological functions, including sexual reproduction, in plants. Chemical hybridizing agents (CHA) SQ-1 has been shown to induce male sterili...

Gene expression and DNA methylation alterations in chemically induced male sterility anthers in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
DNA methylation plays an important role in gene expression regulation during biological development in plants. To explore the mechanism of chemically induced male sterility (CIMS) in wheat, using cDNA-amplifie...

Differences in oxidative stress, antioxidant systems, and microscopic analysis between regenerating callus-derived protoplasts and recalcitrant leaf mesophyll-derived protoplasts of Citrus reticulata Blanco
It is known that protoplasts derived from either leaves or suspension cultures of a citrus genotype vary greatly in their regeneration capacities; however, the underlying physiological mechanisms are not well ...

Development and characterization of two new Triticum aestivum–Dasypyrum villosum Robertsonian translocation lines T1DS·1V#3L and T1DL·1V#3S and their effect on grain quality
Dasypyrum villosum (L.) Candargy is a diploid, wild relative of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Previous studies showed that D. villosum chromosome 1V has genes that encode seed storage proteins that may be u...

Inheritance of seed color and molecular markers linked to the seed color gene in Brassica juncea
Seed color inheritance in Brassica juncea was studied in F1, F2 and BC1 populations. Seed color was found under the control of the maternal genotype, and the brown-seeded trait was dominant over the yellow-seeded...
