Exploring the alpha-gliadin locus: the 33-mer peptide with six overlapping coeliac disease epitopes in Triticum aestivum is derived from a subgroup of Aegilops tauschii.

Most alpha-gliadin genes of the Gli-D2 locus on the D genome of hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) encode for proteins with epitopes that can trigger coeliac disease (CD), and several contain a 33-mer peptide with six partly overlapping copies of three epitopes, which is regarded as a remarkably potent T-cell stimulator. To increase genetic diversity in the D genome, synthetic hexaploid wheat lines are being made by hybridising accessions of Triticum turgidum (AB genome) and Aegilops tauschii (the progenitor of the D genome). The diversity of alpha-gliadins in A.

Assessing European Wheat Sensitivities to Necrotrophic Effectors and Fine-Mapping the Locus Conferring Sensitivity to the Effector SnTox3.

is a necrotrophic fungal pathogen of wheat ( L.), one of the world's most important crops. mediates host cell death using proteinaceous necrotrophic effectors, presumably liberating nutrients that allow the infection process to continue.

Fine-Mapping the Wheat Snn1 Locus Conferring Sensitivity to the Parastagonospora nodorum Necrotrophic Effector SnTox1 Using an Eight Founder Multiparent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross Population.

The necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum is an important pathogen of one of the world's most economically important cereal crops, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). P.

Validation of a 1DL earliness () flowering QTL in bread wheat ().

Vernalization, photoperiod and the relatively poorly defined earliness () genes regulate flowering in plants. We report here the validation of a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) located on wheat 1DL using near isogenic lines (NILs). We used four independent pairs of NILs derived from a cross between Spark and Rialto winter wheat varieties, grown in both the field and controlled environments.

An eight-parent multiparent advanced generation inter-cross population for winter-sown wheat: creation, properties, and validation.

MAGIC populations represent one of a new generation of crop genetic mapping resources combining high genetic recombination and diversity. We describe the creation and validation of an eight-parent MAGIC population consisting of 1091 F7 lines of winter-sown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
