The transcription factor TabZIP156 acts as a positive regulator in response to drought tolerance in Arabidopsis and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Drought stress strongly restricts the growth, development, and yield of wheat worldwide. Among the various transcription factors (TFs) involved in the wheat drought response, the specific functions of many basic leucine zipper (bZIP) TFs related to drought tolerance are still not well understood. In this study, we focused on the bZIP TF TabZIP156 in wheat.

HMW-GSs 1Dx3+1Dy12 contribute to a suitable wheat gluten strength that confers superior Chinese steamed bread quality.

The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of the high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) 1Dx3+1Dy12 (3+12) and 1Dx4+1Dy12 (4+12) at the Glu-D1 locus on gluten and Chinese steamed bread (CSB) quality. The grain protein content and composition, gluten content and gluten index, farinograph properties, and CSB quality were investigated using four wheat near-isogenic lines (NILs) carrying HMW-GSs 1Dx2+1Dy12 (2+12), 3+12, 4+12 and 1Dx5+1Dy10 (5+10), respectively. The unextractable polymeric protein (UPP) and glutenin macropolymer (GMP) content, gluten index, dough development time, stability time, and farinograph quality number of four NILs all ranked as 5+10 > 3+12 > 2+12/4+12, such as the gluten index ranked as 5+10(44.

Identification of the yield traits related haplotype combinations of transcription factor genes in common wheat.

Unlabelled: A predominant objective in wheat breeding is improving yield-related traits. The homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) transcription factor plays a significant role in plant growth and development. In this study, we cloned all homeologs of , which is a member of the HD-Zip class IV transcription factor family in wheat ( L.

The wheat WRKY transcription factor TaWRKY1-2D confers drought resistance in transgenic Arabidopsis and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

The WRKY transcription factor family has been associated with a variety of plant biological processes, such as biotic and abiotic stress responses. In this study, 13 wheat TaWRKY DEGs in transcriptome data before and after drought stress, namely TaWRKY1 to TaWRKY8, including various copies, were identified and classified as Group I, II, or III. TaWRKY1-2D overexpression enhanced drought tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis.

Genome-wide identification of foxtail millet's TRX family and a functional analysis of in response to drought and salt stresses in transgenic .

Thioredoxins (TRXs) are small-molecule proteins with redox activity that play very important roles in the growth, development, and stress resistance of plants. Foxtail millet () gradually became a model crop for stress resistance research because of its advantages such as its resistance to sterility and its small genome. To date, the thioredoxin (TRX) family has been identified in , rice and wheat.

Identification of allele for improving drought resistance and salt tolerance in wheat ( L.).

Drought and salt stress can strongly affect the growth and development of wheat. Wheat adapts to drought and salt stress through osmotic regulation. Betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of betaine, an osmotic regulator.

Transcriptomic Identification of Wheat AP2/ERF Transcription Factors and Functional Characterization of in Response to Drought and Salinity Stresses.

AP2/ERF (APETALA2/ethylene responsive factor) is a family of plant-specific transcription factors whose members are widely involved in many biological processes, such as growth, development, and biotic and abiotic stress responses. Here, 20 genes were identified based on wheat RNA-seq data before and after drought stress, and classified as AP2, ERF, DREB, and RAV. The analysis of gene structure revealed that about 85% of family members had lost introns, which are presumed to have been lost during the formation and evolution of the wheat genome.

A Wheat Transcript Can Delay the Flowering Time of Transgenic .

Flowering time is one of the most important agronomic traits in wheat production. A proper flowering time might contribute to the reduction or avoidance of biotic and abiotic stresses, adjust plant architecture, and affect the yield and quality of grain. In this study, in wheat produced three transcripts (, , and ) by alternative splicing.
