The high molecular weight subunits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) glutenin (HMW-GS) are important in determining the bread-making quality of flour and dough. There is therefore interest in transferring orthologous HMW-GS present in other grass species into wheat by wide crossing in order to extend
A detailed comparison of citrate uptake into the vacuole-like lutoids of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) and of malate and citrate transport into barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) vacuoles revealed very similar transport specificities. In order to identify proteins mediating the transport,
Heterodera avenae (cereal cyst nematode, CCN) infects the roots of barley (Hordeum vulgare) forming syncytial feeding sites. In resistant host plants, relatively few females develop to maturity. Little is known about the physiological and biochemical changes induced during CCN infection. Responses
The lipoxygenase (LOX) activity was determined in almost isogenic types of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.): normal cv. Adorra, cytoplasmic male sterile (msm1), and msm1 barley with restored fertility, heterozygous for the Rfm1a restorer gene. The LOX activity was lowest in male steriles in the leaf
RNA metabolism of embryo and aleurone of barley grains (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) was studied to elucidate the role of these tissues in the control of alpha-amylase synthesis and germination. The extent of (3)H-uridine incorporated into various RNA classes of the embryo during the first 12
A novel aldo-keto reductase (AKR) was cloned and sequenced from roots of Aloe arborescens by a combination of RT-PCR using degenerate primers based on the conserved sequences of plant polyketide reductases (PKRs) and cDNA library screening by oligonucleotide hybridization. A. arborescens AKR share
A tonoplast protein of 31 kDa apparent molecular mass (TpP 31) was isolated from two-dimensional gels. Amino acid sequences were determined from LysC endoproteinase-peptide fragments. Using degenerate oligonucleotides, a corresponding cDNA clone of 1034 bp was isolated from a barley leaf cDNA
LINE and gypsy-like retroelements were studied in the genome of Hordeum vulgare, and compared with the representatives of the major sections of the genus Hordeum. We isolated reverse transcriptase (RT) genes from four gypsy-like and three LINE families using PCR primers specific for the
Salinity is a significant environmental stress factor limiting crops productivity. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has a natural tolerance to salinity stress, making it an interesting study object in stress biology research. In the present study, for the first time the effect of salinity Brassinosteroids (BRs) play important roles throughout plant growth and development. Despite the importance of clarifying the mechanism of BR-related growth regulation in cereal crops, BR-related cereal mutants have been identified only in rice (Oryza sativa). We previously found that semidwarf
The hormonal ratios along the barley spike regulate the development, atrophy and abortion of the spikelets and could be the mechanism by which the barley spike adapts its yield potential. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the oldest cereal crops known to be cultivated since about 10,000 years.
To enable rapid selection of traits in marker-assisted breeding, markers must be technically simple, low-cost, high-throughput and randomly distributed in a genome. We developed such a technology, designated as Multiplex Restriction Amplicon Sequencing (MRASeq), which reduces genome complexity by
The Ty1-copia group retrotransposon populations of barley (Hordeum vulgare) and bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) have been characterised by degenerate PCR and sequence analysis of fragments of the reverse transcriptase genes. The barley population is comprised of a highly heterogeneous set of
Changes in glucose utilization into CO(2) and ethanol-insoluble material were followed in whole seeds, embryos, and endosperms of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) which had reached different levels of deterioration through accelerated aging treatments. Excised embryos
A full-length cDNA, named MsNHX1, encoding a vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter was cloned from alfalfa (Medicago sativa), using degenerate primers, followed by 3' and 5' RACE. The cDNA sequence was 2225 bp long and included an open reading frame encoding a deduced protein of 541-amino-acid polypeptide. The
