The effectiveness of molecular markers for the identification of leaf rust resistance genes Lr28, Lr35, Lr47 transferred to common wheat was assessed the using samplesof Triticum spp. and Aegilops spp. from Ae. speltoides. Markers Sr39F2/R3, BCD260F1/35R2 of gene Lr35 and PS10 of Lr47 gene were characterized by high efficiency and were revealed in a line of common wheat containing these genes, and samples of Ae. speltoides (their donor). Marker SCS421 of Lr28gene and markers Sr39#22r, Sr39#50s, BE500705 of Lr35/Sr39 genes turned out to be less specific. Marker SCS421 was amplified in the samples of the T. timopheevii species, and markers Sr39#22r, Sr39#50s--in the Ae. speltoides, Ae. tauschii, T. timopheevii, line KS90WRC010 (Lr41), the sort of common wheat In Memory of Maistrenko, obtained using synthetic hexaploid T. timopheevii x Ae. tauschii and introgressive lines obtained using Ae. speltoides. Marker BE500705, which indicates the absence of Lr35/Sr39 genes, was not revealed in lines TcLr35 and MqSr39, in Ae. speltoides, Ae. tauschii and T. boeoticum (kk-61034, 61038). Analysis of the nucleotide sequences of amplification products obtained with the markers SCS421 and Sr39#22r indicated their low homology with TcLr28 and TcLr35. Using molecular markers, we showed a different distribution of Lr28 (77%), Lr35 (100%) and Lr47 (15%) genes in 13 studied samples ofAe. speltoides. In introgressive lines derived from Ae. speltoides, contemporary Russian sorts of common wheat and triticale variants Lr28, Lr35, Lr47 genes were not revealed.

The agronomical interest of hybrid wheat has long been a matter of debate. Compared to maize where hybrids have been successfully grown for decades, the mixed results obtained in wheat have been attributed at least partially to the lack of heterotic groups. The wheat genome is known to be strongly partitioned and characterized by numerous presence/absence variations and alien introgressions which have not been thoroughly considered in hybrid breeding.

Polyphenolic plant compounds possess nutritional and pro-healthy potential, reducing the risk of auto-inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. However, their interference with the progression of thyroid gland dysfunctions has remained largely unaddressed. For this purpose, we combined the analyses of phenolic content and antioxidative activity with the thyroid peroxidase (TPO), lipoxygenase (LOX), xanthine oxidase (XO) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity assays, isobolographic approach and the estimation of thyroid cancer cells' proliferation and motility in vitro.

Filamentous plant pathogenic fungi pose significant threats to global food security, particularly through diseases like Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) and Septoria Tritici Blotch (STB) which affects cereals. With mounting challenges in fungal control and increasing restrictions on fungicide use due to environmental concerns, there is an urgent need for innovative control strategies. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of the stage-specific infection process of Fusarium graminearum in wheat spikes by generating a dual weighted gene co-expression network (WGCN).

Drought, as an abiotic stressor, globally limits cereal productivity, leading to early aging of leaves and lower yields. The expression of the isopentenyl transferase (IPT) gene, which is involved in cytokinin (CK) biosynthesis, can delay drought-induced leaf senescence. In this study, the Agrobacterium Isopentenyl transferase (IPT) gene was introduced into two local hexaploid wheat cultivars, NR-421 and FSD-2008.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops, with its grain serving as a predominant staple food source on a global scale. However, there are many biotic and abiotic stresses challenging the stability of wheat production.
