Monosomic and molecular mapping of adult plant leaf rust resistance genes in the Brazilian wheat cultivar Toropi

P. R. Da-Silva, Brammer, S. P., Guerra, D., Milach, S. C. K., Barcellos, A. L., and Baggio, M. I., Monosomic and molecular mapping of adult plant leaf rust resistance genes in the Brazilian wheat cultivar Toropi, vol. 11, pp. 2823-2834, 2012.

Leaf rust is one of the most destructive diseases affecting wheat worldwide. The most effective way to control it is to use resistant cultivars. Resistance based on slow-rusting adult plant resistance (APR) genes has proven to be the best method for developing cultivars with durable resistance. A source of slow-rusting APR for leaf rust is the Brazilian wheat cultivar Toropi. The Toropi/IAC 13 F2 and F7 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were developed in previous studies.

Identification of miRNAs and their targets in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by EST analysis

J. Han, Kong, M. L., Xie, H., Sun, Q. P., Nan, Z. J., Zhang, Q. Z., and Pan, J. B., Identification of miRNAs and their targets in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by EST analysis, vol. 12, pp. 3793-3805, 2013.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered class of noncoding small RNAs that regulate gene expression by directing target mRNA cleavage or translational inhibition. A large number of miRNAs have been identified in plants. Increasing evidence has shown that miRNAs play multiple roles in plant biological processes. So far, identification of miRNAs has been limited to a few model plant species, whose genomes have been sequenced. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide. To date, only a few conserved miRNAs have been predicted in wheat.
