Chromosome 5A of wheat is a major regulator of freezing tolerance. It harbours gene loci controlling freezing tolerance (Fr-A1 and Fr-A2) and vernalization requirement (Vrn-A1). The number of cold-responsive genes and their functional classification was studied by cDNA macroarray-based transcript pr...
Starchy endosperm proteins determine wheat quality and exhibit, besides a quantitative protein gradient, a qualitative protein gradient from the outer to inner starchy endosperm. The goal was to investigate the relative differences in protein composition between the aleurone, sub-aleurone and inner ...
