However, the fact that these variations may or may not affect target specificity in wheat although they are wheat-specific, raising the question whether these conserved miRNA variants evolved independently to acquire wheat-specific functions.
Although NPR1 function remains to be mechanistically linked to disease resistance in wheat, the observation that benzothiadiazole (BTH) treatments induce acquired resistance in wheat and enhance resistance to powdery mildew suggests that NPR1 may play a similar role in wheat as observed in other plant species [ 62].
Below poverty line households are issued distinctive cards with which they can acquire heavily subsidised rice, wheat, sugar and paraffin.
The average recovery of PHE acquired by spiking wheat samples with standards is 95.2% for the entire procedure.
The mean recoveries of phenanhtrene and naphthalene acquired by spiking wheat samples with standards were 97% and 86%, respectively, for the entire procedure.
Horizontal gene transfer is not restricted to just bacteria but also the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis that causes tan spot in wheat acquired a virulence factor from another plant fungus through gene transfer.
The nutrient competitive ratio, 1.09 7.54 for wheat relative to maize and 1.2 8.3 for wheat relative to soybean, showed that wheat had greater capability to acquire nutrients compared to soybean and maize.
For example, the CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) wheat programme has selected wheat cultivars that can efficiently acquire P under low P conditions, but also respond to P applications (Manske et al., 2000).
It is more delicate than traditional durum wheat pasta, and can acquire a slightly crumbly texture if overcooked.
It is a high throughput technology for analyzing wheat gluten proteins [ 22- 25], but being relatively new and expensive, few wheat breeding programs can afford to acquire such equipment.
