Chromosomal genomics facilitates fine mapping of a Russian wheat aphid resistance gene.

Making use of wheat chromosomal resources, we developed 11 gene-associated markers for the region of interest, which allowed reducing gene interval and spanning it by four BAC clones. Positional gene cloning and targeted marker development in bread wheat are hampered by high complexity and polyploidy of its nuclear genome.

TPX2 Protein of Arabidopsis Activates Aurora Kinase 1, But Not Aurora Kinase 3 In Vitro

Aurora kinases are involved in various mitotic events, including chromosomesegregation and bipolarmitotic spindle assembly. In animals, Aurora A is activated andprotected by microtubule-associated protein TPX2. Such role in plants is not known. Here, we have assessed the ability of TPX2 of Arabidopsis to regulate Aurora family members in vitro.

Conference - Plant Biotechnology: Green for Good III

The conference will promote collaboration in the frontier areas of plant biotechnology research, development and innovations. The scientific program will cover all aspects of biotechnology including Genome structure: its evolution and function, Cereal biotechnology, Genetic modification and gene editing, Metabolic regulation and methods of analysis, Stress response and cell signaling, and Plant-pathogen interactions.
