The ‘Omics’ Approach for Crop Improvement Against Drought Stress
Plants are sessile organisms and are inevitably exposed to various stress factors during their lifetime. Among abiotic stresses, drought is the most prominent which affects plant growth and yield worldwide. To...

Map** of a major QTL for pre-harvest sprouting tolerance on chromosome 3A in bread wheat
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis was conducted for pre-harvest sprouting tolerance (PHST) in bread wheat for a solitary chromosome 3A, which was shown to be important for this trait in earlier studies. A...

Structural characterization, expression analysis and evolution of the red/far-red sensing photoreceptor gene, phytochrome C (PHYC), localized on the ‘B’ genome of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Phytochromes are a family of red/far-red light perceiving photoreceptors.The monocot phytochrome family is represented by three members, PHYA, PHYB and PHYC. We have isolated and characterized the first PHY gene ...

Phytochrome modulation of calcium fluxes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) protoplasts
Employing the metallochromic dye murexide and by monitoring the uptake of radiolabelled calcium, photoreversible calcium fluxes were measured in wheat leaf protoplast suspensions. Results obtained by both meth...
