Cloning and characterization of up-regulated HbSINA4 gene induced by drought stress in Tibetan hulless barley
, “Cloning and characterization of up-regulated HbSINA4 gene induced by drought stress in Tibetan hulless barley”, vol. 14. pp. 15312-15319, 2015.
Hulless barley is an important crop cereal in Tibetan, China. Drought is a major abiotic stress in barley production. In this study, we cloned the drought-related HbSINA4 gene from the variety ‘Himalaya 10’ and analyzed its expression patterns under different drought and rehydration conditions. The cDNA of HbSINA4 was 1052 bp long, including an open reading frame of 771 bp that encoded a protein of 256 amino acids. The molecular weight of HbSINA4 protein was predicted to be 29.53 kDa and the theoretical pI was 8.32.
Genetic variability in agronomic traits of a germplasm collection of hulless barley
, “Genetic variability in agronomic traits of a germplasm collection of hulless barley”, vol. 14, pp. 18356-18369, 2015.
Germplasm collections represent an important genetic source for crop improvements. In this study, 220 accessions of hulless barley were collected worldwide and their genetic diversity was investigated. Sixteen agronomic traits, including yield and yield components, grain morphology, leaf size, plant height, and lodging resistance, were assessed under field conditions. All studied traits exhibited large variation. Thousand seed weight determined yield, and was strongly affected by spike length and spike number.
