Proton-pumping pyrophosphatase homeolog expression is a dynamic trait in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum).

ABSTRACT: Proton-pumping pyrophosphatases (H⁺-PPases) have been shown to enhance biomass and yield. However, to date, there has been little work towards identify genes encoding H⁺-PPases in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) (TaVPs) and limited knowledge on how the expression of these genes varies across different growth stages and tissue types. In this study, the IWGSC database was used to identify two novel TaVP genes, TaVP4 and TaVP5, and elucidate the complete homeolog sequences of the three known TaVP genes, bringing the total number of bread wheat TaVPs from 9 to 15. Gene expression levels of each TaVP homeolog were assessed using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in four diverse wheat varieties in terms of phenotypi
