Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation TaAAP6 homoeologues were preferentially expressed in developing wheat grains.
- Association TaAAP6-3B-I is significantly correlated with higher grain protein content than TaAAP6-3B-II in 115 wheat lines across five environments.
- Observation TaAAP6-3B-I was preferentially expressed in the preliminary developing grain stage of wheat.
- Association The high-protein TaAAP6-3B-I allele was completely dominant in 197F2 populations.
- Method / resource Two functional markers were developed to discriminate 197F2 populations for TaAAP6-3B-I.
- Association Two cis-regulatory elements in the 5’UTR of TaAAP6-3B-I appear to be associated with high GPC in wheat.
- Observation The change of TaAAP6-3B locus types indicates selection pressure on the gene during artificial selection of wheat.
- Recommendation The favoured TaAAP6-3B-I allele has potential application in wheat high-GPC breeding.
