Among the 16 genes with significantly higher ω1 than ω0 in Table 5 and among the 5 genes with positively selected sites in Table 6, only atpE is among the 14 genes with significant heterogeneity of nucleotide substitution rates for maize vs. rice, maize vs. wheat, or rice vs. wheat comparisons listed in Table 5 of ref. [27].
The values for wheat-barley, barley-oat and oat-wheat comparisons were below the threshold for Mastreviruses species (75%) as proposed by the ICTV [ 18, 25].
This study provides for the first time a detailed analyses of an alloplasmic line of wheat in comparison to its two euplasmic nuclear and cytoplasmic donor lines.
Here, we provide a chromosome-specific view into the organization and evolution of the D genome of bread wheat, in comparison to one of its ancestors, revealing recent genome rearrangements.
Complementary approaches known as comparative genomics [ 4] at the genome-level (synteny) or the chromosome level (micro-synteny) were used to predict the genome structure of wheat in comparison to sequenced diploid species such as rice [ 5, 6], sorghum [ 7], maize [ 8], brachypodium [ 9] and more recently barley [ 10].
Note that the GC content of the sequences adjacent to indels differed between the SR3 vs JN177 and the JN177 vs database wheat ESTs comparisons (Fig. 2), which implies that the mechanism underlying indel formation during somatic hybridization may well be distinct from that controlling the process in a sexual hybrid.
Structural equation modeling analysis suggested that the bottom up control from the microbial community to the nematode community was more obvious in the wheat season in comparison with the maize season.
A deletion of 1.4 kb located about 4 kb downstream from the start of intron 1 was found in all known VRN-A1 sequences obtained from polyploid wheat species in comparison with T. monococcum.
This study, identified the key enzymes that are predicted to be particularly involved in the attack on wheat straw in comparison to xylan and xylose, giving clues as to the design of enzyme cocktails for future applications.
The purpose of our research was the characterization of the genes encoding PDI and PDI like proteins in wheat and the comparison of their structure and expression with those of homologous genes isolated in other plant species.
Before undertaking a detailed analysis of the expression of the cdk-like genes in euploid wheat (CS) in comparison with the Ph1 mutant (ph1b), the CS BAC library was screened with specific probes for cdk-like and storage protein-like genes.
