Article Synopsis
- - A synthetic doubled-haploid wheat population named SynDH1 was created from the hybridization of specific wheat lines, leading to the generation of a genetic map with 606 markers.
- - Out of these, 588 markers were successfully organized into linkage groups across 14 chromosomes, revealing a mean distance of 3.48 cm between markers, though some chromosome regions showed gaps in coverage.
- - This genetic map was instrumental in identifying five quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to wheat traits like spikelet number and grain weight, although some segregation distortion regions were noted, indicating more markers are necessary for improved map density.
Fusarium head blight (FHB) and crown rot (CR) are two wheat diseases caused by the same Fusarium pathogens. Progress towards CR resistance could benefit from FHB-resistant germplasm if the same genes are involved in resistance to these two different diseases. Two independent studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between host resistances to these two diseases.

The universal stress proteins (USPs) play an important role in enhancing survival rate during prolonged exposure to heat shock, nutrient starvation, or stressors from agents that arrest cell growth or damage DNA structures. Searching the HarvEST database of barley resulted in 25 putative USP cDNA sequences. Of these, 16 could translate into intact proteins (putative USPs).
