Shifting the limits in wheat research and breeding using a fully annotated reference genome

Rudi Appels, +207 more
- 17 Aug 2018 - 
TL;DR: This annotated reference sequence of wheat is a resource that can now drive disruptive innovation in wheat improvement, as this community resource establishes the foundation for accelerating wheat research and application through improved understanding of wheat biology and genomics-assisted breeding.
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

Microsatellites: genomic distribution, putative functions and mutational mechanisms: a review.

TL;DR: A review of the available data related to SSR distribution in coding and non-coding regions of genomes and SSR functional importance is presented in this article, where the role of two putative mutational mechanisms, replication slippage and recombination, and their interaction in SSR variation is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microsatellites Within Genes: Structure, Function, and Evolution

TL;DR: SSRs within genes evolve through mutational processes similar to those for SSRs located in other genomic regions including replication slippage, point mutation, and recombination and may provide a molecular basis for fast adaptation to environmental changes in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
