Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Gene Expression and Regulatory Characteristics of Broad-Spectrum Immunity to Leaf Rust in a Wheat- 2P Addition Line.

Wheat leaf rust (caused by Erikss.) is among the major diseases of common wheat. The lack of resistance genes to leaf rust has limited the development of wheat cultivars.

Production of new wheat-. translocation lines with modified chromosome 2P coding for powdery mildew and leaf rust resistance.

(L.) Gaertn. (2 = 28, PPPP), a relative of wheat, carries desirable genes associated with high yield, disease resistance, and stress resistance, which is an important resource for wheat genetic improvement.

Splice Variants of the Castor WRI1 Gene Upregulate Fatty Acid and Oil Biosynthesis When Expressed in Tobacco Leaves.

The plant-specific WRINKLED1 (WRI1) is a member of the AP2/EREBP class of transcription factors that positively regulate oil biosynthesis in plant tissues. Limited information is available for the role of WRI1 in oil biosynthesis in castor bean ( L.), an important industrial oil crop.

Characterisation of phospholipid: diacylglycerol acyltransferases (PDATs) from and their roles in stress responses.

As an important oilseed worldwide, is being increasingly explored for its use in production of food, feed, biofuel and industrial chemicals. However, detailed mechanisms of camelina oil biosynthesis and accumulation, particularly in vegetative tissues, are understood to a very small extent. Here, we present genome-wide identification, cloning and functional analysis of phospholipid diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) in , which catalyses the final acylation step in triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis by transferring a fatty acyl moiety from a phospholipid to diacylglycerol (DAG).
