Molecular evidence for BDNF- and GABA-related dysfunctions in the amygdala of female subjects with major depression
Women are twice as likely as men to develop major depressive disorder (MDD) and are more prone to recurring episodes. Hence, we tested the hypothesis that the illness may associate with robust molecular change...

A multiple resistance locus on chromosome arm 3BS in wheat confers resistance to stem rust (Sr2), leaf rust (Lr27) and powdery mildew
Sr2 is the only known durable, race non-specific adult plant stem rust resistance gene in wheat. The Sr2 gene was shown to be tightly linked to the leaf rust resistance gene Lr27 and to p...

BAC-derived markers for assaying the stem rust resistance gene, Sr2, in wheat breeding programs
Durable broad-spectrum, adult-plant stem rust resistance in wheat conferred by the Sr2 gene has remained effective against Puccinia graminis f. sp tritici worldwide for more than 50 years....

EST-derived single nucleotide polymorphism markers for assembling genetic and physical maps of the barley genome
In a panel of seven genotypes, 437 expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived DNA fragments were sequenced. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were polymorphic between the parents of three map** populatio...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in rye (Secale cereale L.): discovery, frequency, and applications for genome map** and diversity studies
To elucidate the potential of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers in rye, a set of 48 barley EST (expressed sequence tag) primer pairs was employed to amplify from DNA prepared from five rye inbred li...

Fine genetic map** fails to dissociate durable stem rust resistance gene Sr2 from pseudo-black chaff in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
The broad-spectrum stem rust resistance gene Sr2 has provided protection in wheat against Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici for over 80 years. The Sr2 gene and an associated dark pigmentation trait, pseudo-b...

Functional association between malting quality trait components and cDNA array based expression patterns in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
We developed an approach for relating differences in gene expression to the phenotypic variation of a trait of interest. This allows the identification of candidate genes for traits that display quantitative v...

Snip** polymorphisms from large EST collections in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
The public EST (expressed sequence tag) databases represent an enormous but heterogeneous repository of sequences, including many from a broad selection of plant species and a wide range of distinct varieties....

Detection of Transgenes in Crop Plants Using Molecular Beacon Assays
Molecular beacons are oligonucleotide probes that form a stem-and-loop structure and possess an internally quenched fluorophore. When they bind to complementary targets, they undergo a conformational transitio...
