• Waxy genes from spelt wheat: new alleles for modern wheat breeding and new phylogenetic inferences about the origin of this species 

      Guzmán, Carlos; Caballero, Leonor; Martín, Luis Miguel; Álvarez, Juan B. (Oxford University Press, 2012)
      Background and Aims Waxy proteins are responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds, being encoded by three waxy genes (Wx-A1, Wx-B1 and Wx-D1) in hexaploid wheat. In addition to their role in starch quality, waxy loci ...
    • Worldwide Patterns of Ancestry, Divergence, and Admixture in Domesticated Cattle 

      Decker, Jared E.; McKay, Stephanie D.; Rolf, Megan M.; Kim, JaeWoo; Molina Alcalá, Antonio; Sonstegard, Tad S.; Hanotte, Olivier; Götherström, Anders; Seabury, Christopher M.; Praharani, Lisa; Babar, Masroor Ellahi; Correia de Almeida Regitano, Luciana; Yildiz, Mehmet Ali; Heaton, Michael P.; Liu, Wan-Sheng; Lei, Chu-Zhao; Reecy, James M.; Saif-Ur-Rehman, Muhammad; Schnabel, Robert D.; Taylor, Jeremy F. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      The domestication and development of cattle has considerably impacted human societies, but the histories of cattle breeds and populations have been poorly understood especially for African, Asian, and American breeds. ...
    • Wx Gene in Hordeum chilense: Chromosomal Location and Characterisation of the Allelic Variation in the Two Main Ecotypes of the Species 

      Álvarez, Juan B.; Castellano, Laura; Recio, Rocío; Cabrera Caballero, Adoración (MDPI, 2019)
      Starch, as the main grain component, has great importance in wheat quality, with the ratio between the two formed polymers, amylose and amylopectin, determining the starch properties. Granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI), ...
    • Yield and Quality in Purple-Grained Wheat Isogenic Lines 

      Morgounov, Alexey; Karaduman, Yaşar; Akin, Beyhan; Aydogan, Sinan; Stephen Baenziger, Peter; Bhatta, Madhav; Chudinov, Vladimir; Dreisigacker, Susanne; Govindan, Velu; Güler, Safure; Guzmán, Carlos; Nehe, Ajit; Poudel, Rachana; Rose, Devin; Gordeeva, Elena; Shamanin, Vladimir; Subasi, Kemal; Zelenskiy, Yuriy; Khlestkina, Elena (MDPI, 2020)
      Breeding programs for purple wheat are underway in many countries but there is a lack of information on the effects of Pp (purple pericarp) genes on agronomic and quality traits in variable environments and along the product ...
