Wheat crops are frequently devastated by pandemics of new virulent races of the stripe rust fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp tritici(Pst). Here, we identify and characterize a novel wheat gene, TaRIPK1, that confers susceptibility to this pathogen. TaRIPK1 is induced specifically by Pst. It ...
The present study identified a novel Wx‐A1 null mutant line from an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)‐mutagenized population of common wheat cv. SM126 using sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and agarose gel analyses. RESULTS The alignment of the Wx‐A1 gene sequences from the...
The E3 ubiquitin ligase Mule is encoded by the highly conserved, X chromosome-linked Huwe1 gene16. Mule is ubiquitously expressed as a large (482 kDa) multi-domain member of the Hect domain family that attaches a 48-linked lysine polyubiquitin chain onto its target substrates17,18. Mechanist...
Protection from endotoxemia by adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein. Sepsis represents a growing concern in high-risk patients and there has been a lack of effective preventives and therapies. Bacterial/permeability increasi... Scott,Alexander,Jonathan,.....
An EMS-induced single-base mutation at a splice site caused abnormal RNA splicing and resulted in the gene inactivation and the lack of Wx-A1 protein in a wheat EMS mutant line. An EMS-mutagenized population was generated using common wheat cv. SM126 consisting of 10,600 M2 plants. One ...
