Cloning and characterization of low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit alleles from Chinese wheat landraces (Triticum aestivum L.)

Si, Hongqi; Zhao, Manli; Zhang, Xin; Yao, Guoliang; Sun, Genlou; Ma, Chuanxi (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-04-10)

Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) are of great importance in processing quality and participate in the formation of polymers in wheat. In this study, eight new LMW-GS alleles were isolated from Chinese wheat ...
Copy Number Variation of Cytokinin Oxidase Gene Tackx4 Associated with Grain Weight and Chlorophyll Content of Flag Leaf in Common Wheat

Chang, Cheng; Lu, Jie; Zhang, Hai-Ping; Ma, Chaun-Xi; Sun, Genlou (Public Library of Science, 2015-12-29)

As the main pigment in photosynthesis, chlorophyll significantly affects grain filling and grain weight of crop. Cytokinin (CTK) can effectively increase chlorophyll content and chloroplast stability, but it is irreversibly ...
Empirical verification of heterogeneous DNA fragments generated from wheat genome-specific SSR primers

Chen, Qijiao; Zhang, Lianquan; Yuan, Zhongwei; Yan, Zehong; Zheng, Youliang; Sun, Genlou; Liu, Dengcai (Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2008)

Due to the high polymorphisms between synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) and common wheat, SHW has been widely used in genetic studies. The transferability of simple sequence repeats (SSR) among common wheat and its donor ...
Genetic analysis and molecular markers associated with multi-gynoecia (Mg) gene in Trigrain wheat

Wang, Zhiguo; Xu, Donghe; Ji, Jun; Wang, Jing; Wang, Meicong; Ling, Hongqing; Sun, Genlou; Li, Junming (Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2009)

Trigrain wheat normally produces up to three gynoecia in a single floret and forms three close-set grains. The gene conferring the multi grain phenotype was earlier designated Mg, the multiple gynoecia gene. Different ...
Genome-wide association study for grain yield and related traits in elite wheat varieties and advanced lines using SNP markers

Wang, Sheng-Xing; Zhu, Yu-Lei; Zhang, De-Xin; Shao, Hui; Liu, Peng; Hu, Jian-Bang; Zhang, Heng; Zhang, Hai-Ping; Chang, Cheng; Lu, Jie; Xia, Xian-Chun; Sun, Genlou; Ma, Chuan-Xi (Public Library of Science, 2017-11-27)

Genetic improvement of grain yield is always an important objective in wheat breeding. Here, a genome-wide association study was conducted to parse the complex genetic composition of yield-related traits of 105 elite wheat ...
Identification of a Novel Allele of TaCKX6a02 Associated with Grain Size, Filling Rate and Weight of Common Wheat

Lu, Jie; Chang, Cheng; Zhang, Hai-Ping; Wang, Sheng-Xing; Sun, Genlou; Xiao, Shi-He; Ma, Chuan-Xi (Public Library of Science, 2015-12-14)

Cytokinin oxidase (CKX) plays a crucial role in plant growth and development by reversibly inactivating cytokinin (CTK). Twenty-four primer pairs, designed from ESTs of the TaCKX genes family of common wheat, were used to ...
Molecular evolution of Wcor15 gene enhanced our understanding of the origin of A, B and D genomes in Triticum aestivum

Liu, Fangfang; Si, Hongqi; Wang, Chengcheng; Sun, Genlou; Zhou, Erting; Chen, Can; Ma, Chuanxi (Nature Publishing Group, 2016-08-16)

The allohexaploid bread wheat originally derived from three closely related species with A, B and D genome. Although numerous studies were performed to elucidate its origin and phylogeny, no consensus conclusion has reached. ...
