Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of polyploid wheat genomic diversity using a high-density 90 000 single nucleotide polymorphism array

TL;DR: The developed array and cluster identification algorithms provide an opportunity to infer detailed haplotype structure in polyploid wheat and will serve as an invaluable resource for diversity studies and investigating the genetic basis of trait variation in wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI

A NAC Gene Regulating Senescence Improves Grain Protein, Zinc, and Iron Content in Wheat

TL;DR: The positional cloning of Gpc-B1, a wheat quantitative trait locus associated with increased grain protein, zinc, and iron content, is reported here, and reduction in RNA levels of the multiple NAM homologs by RNA interference delayed senescence by more than 3 weeks and reduced wheat grain protein and zinc content.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positional cloning of the wheat vernalization gene VRN1

TL;DR: The results suggest that AP1 is a better candidate for VRN1 than AGLG1, and the epistatic interactions between vernalization genesVRN1 and VRN2 suggested a model in whichVRN2 would repress directly or indirectly the expression of AP1.
Journal ArticleDOI

The wheat VRN2 gene is a flowering repressor down-regulated by vernalization.

TL;DR: Cutting the RNA level of VRN2 by RNA interference accelerated the flowering time of transgenic winter-wheat plants by more than a month and resulted in spring lines, which do not require vernalization to flower.
Journal ArticleDOI

The wheat and barley vernalization gene VRN3 is an orthologue of FT

TL;DR: It is shown that in these species, the vernalization gene VRN3 is linked completely to a gene similar to Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), which results in a transmissible signal that promotes flowering.
