Ascorbate peroxidases (APXs) are heme-dependent HO scavenging enzymes involved in myriad biological processes. Herein, a total of 21 TaAPX and six TaAPX-R genes were identified from the A, B and D sub-genomes of Triticum aestivum L. The occurrence of three paralogous gene pairs with unequal evolutionary rate suggested functional divergence. The phylogenetic analysis formed four distinct clades having conserved gene and protein architecture, and sub-cellular localization. The tertiary structure analysis revealed the presence of helices and coils and residues involved in ligand binding. Transcriptional profiling of each TaAPX and TaAPX-R gene suggested their specific role during development and stress response. Modulated transcript expression and APX enzyme activity during various stress conditions indicated their role in stress response. Interaction analyses suggested their association with other genes, miRNAs and various legends. The present study reported numerous features of these genes, and may provide a platform for their detailed functional characterization in future studies.

Screening tests for specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) to food allergens, such as the multiple allergen simultaneous test (MAST), are widely used in patients with suspected food allergies in South Korea. We evaluated whether MAST could effectively screen wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) and α-gal syndrome (AGS). We retrospectively reviewed patients with WDEIA and AGS diagnosed with unequivocal history and positive sIgE results for omega-5 gliadin and α-gal using ImmunoCAP, respectively.

Elevated CO (eCO) stimulates productivity and nutrient demand of crops. Thus, comprehensively understanding the crop phosphorus (P) acquisition strategy is critical for sustaining agriculture to combat climate changes. Here, wheat ( L) was planted in field in the eCO (550 µmol mol) and ambient CO (aCO, 415 µmol mol) environments.

Increasing wheat ( L.) yield and grain protein concentration (GPC) without excessive nitrogen (N) inputs requires understanding the genotypic variations in N accumulation, partitioning, and utilization strategies. This study evaluated whether high protein genotypes exhibit increased N accumulation (herein also expressed as N nutrition index, NNI) and partitioning (including remobilization from vegetative organs) compared to low-protein genotypes under low and high N conditions.
