Identification of nuclear membrane SUN proteins and components associated with wheat fungal stress responses.

In eukaryotes, the nuclear membrane that encapsulates genomic DNA is composed of an inner nuclear membrane (INM), an outer nuclear membrane (ONM), and a perinuclear space. SUN proteins located in the INM and KASH proteins in the ONM form the SUN-KASH NM-bridge, which functions as the junction of the nucleocytoplasmic complex junction. Proteins containing the SUN domain showed the highest correlation with differentially accumulated proteins (DAPs) in the wheat response to fungal stress.

An alternative splicing isoform of wheat TaYRG1 resistance protein activates immunity by interacting with dynamin-related proteins.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a commercially important crop and its production is seriously threatened by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici West (Pst).

Fine mapping and distribution analysis of hybrid necrosis genes Ne1 and Ne2 in wheat in China.

Flanking markers useful for identifying hybrid necrosis alleles were identified by fine mapping Ne1 and Ne2 and the distribution of the two necrosis genes was investigated in Chinese elite wheat varieties. Hybrid necrosis of wheat is caused by the interaction of two dominant complementary genes Ne1 and Ne2 present separately in normal parents and is regarded as a barrier to gene transfer in wheat breeding. However, the necrosis alleles still occur at a high frequency in modern wheat varieties.

Large-Scale Cloning and Comparative Analysis of TaNAC Genes in Response to Stripe Rust and Powdery Mildew in Wheat ( L.).

The NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2 (NAC) transcription factors (TFs) constitute the largest plant-specific TF superfamily, and play important roles in various physiological processes, including stress responses. Stripe rust and powdery mildew are the most damaging of the fungal diseases that afflict wheat ( L.).

Transcriptome-wide alternative splicing modulation during plant-pathogen interactions in wheat.

Alternative splicing (AS) enhances the diversities of both transcripts and proteins in eukaryotes, which contribute to stress adaptation. To catalog wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) AS genes, we characterized 45 RNA-seq libraries from wheat seedlings infected by powdery mildew, Blumeria graminis f.

Genome-wide identification and functional prediction of novel and fungi-responsive lincRNAs in Triticum aestivum.

Background: Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici; Pst) and powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f.

Molecular mapping and marker development for the Triticum dicoccoides-derived stripe rust resistance gene YrSM139-1B in bread wheat cv. Shaanmai 139.

Key Message: YrSM139-1B maybe a new gene for effective resistance to stripe rust and useful flanking markers for marker-assisted selection were developed.

Abstract: Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp.
