Genome-wide investigation and functional analysis of RNA editing sites in wheat.

Wheat is an important cereal and half of the world population consumed it. Wheat faces environmental stresses and different techniques (CRISPR, gene silencing, GWAS, etc.) were used to enhance its production but RNA editing (RESs) is not fully explored in wheat.

Transcriptome unveiled the gene expression patterns of root architecture in drought-tolerant and sensitive wheat genotypes.

Drought is a big challenge for agricultural production. Root attributes are the important target traits for breeding high-yielding sustainable wheat varieties against ever changing climatic conditions. However, the transcriptomic of wheat concerning root architecture remained obscure.

Evolution of Deeper Rooting 1-like homoeologs in wheat entails the C-terminus mutations as well as gain and loss of auxin response elements.

Root growth angle (RGA) in response to gravity controlled by auxin is a pertinent target trait for obtainment of higher yield in cereals. But molecular basis of this root architecture trait remain obscure in wheat and barley. We selected four cultivars two each for wheat and barley to unveil the molecular genetic mechanism of Deeper Rooting 1-like gene which controls RGA in rice leading to higher yield under drought imposition.
