Open AccessRNAi technology for plant protection and its application in wheat
The RNAi technology takes advantage of the intrinsic RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism that exists in nearly all eukaryotes in which target mRNAs are degraded or functionally suppressed. Significant progress ...

Open AccessThe genome-wide transcriptional consequences of the nullisomic-tetrasomic stocks for homoeologous group 7 in bread wheat
Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L) arose by two polyploidisation events from three diploid species with homoeologous genomes. Nullisomic-tetrasomic (nulli-tetra or NT) lines are aneuploid wheat plants la...

Open AccessRegulation of FT splicing by an endogenous cue in temperate grasses
Appropriate flowering timing is crucial for plant reproductive success. The florigen, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), interacts with 14-3-3 proteins and the bZIP transcription factor FD, functioning at core nodes in m...

Characterization of Squamosa Promoter Binding Protein-LIKE genes in wheat
Common wheat (Triticum aestivum) is an allohexaploid (AABBDD), with Triticum urartu (AA) and Aegilops tauschii (DD) as its A and D genome donors. Squamosa Promoter Binding Protein-Like (SPL) genes play important ...

Over expression of the wheat BEL1-like gene TaqSH1 affects floral organ abscission in Arabidopsis thaliana
Seed shattering is one of the major domestication traits of crops. In wheat, except for the Q gene whose mutation renders free threshing and changing of rachis fragility, not much is known about the molecular mec...

Overexpression of a Wheat CCaMK Gene Reduces ABA Sensitivity of Arabidopsis thaliana During Seed Germination and Seedling Growth
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays pivotal roles in plant biotic and abiotic stress responses, where calcium ions are important second messengers. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CCaMK) is essential for no...
