Other claims from this paper (14)
- Mechanism TaARF18 was identified as a negative regulator of wheat salt tolerance.
- Observation TaARF18-A coding sequence was 2106 bp.
- Observation TaARF18-B coding sequence was 2088 bp.
- Observation TaARF18-D coding sequence was 2088 bp.
- Observation TaARF18 was hydrophilic and contained Auxin-resp and B3 DNA-binding domains.
- Observation TaARF18 was relatively conserved among Poaceae species.
- Intervention effect Salt stress upregulated TaARF18 expression.
- Observation TaARF18 predominantly accumulated in the nucleus.
- Intervention effect Silencing TaARF18 enhanced salt tolerance in wheat seedlings.
- Observation TaARF18-A had 25 haplotypes among 355 wheat accessions.
- Observation TaARF18-B had 31 haplotypes among 355 wheat accessions.
- Observation TaARF18-D had 16 haplotypes among 355 wheat accessions.
- Association HapIII of TaARF18-A had the highest salt tolerance among evaluated accessions.
- Recommendation The authors propose TaARF18-A HapIII as a wheat breeding selection locus.
