Genetic characterization for lesion mimic and other traits in relation to spot blotch resistance in spring wheat.

Lesion mimic (Lm) mutants display hypersensitive responses (HR) without any pathogen attack; their symptoms are similar to those produced by a pathogen and result in cell death.In wheat, such mutants have been reported to be resistant against leaf rust due to their biotrophic nature.However, Lm mutants tend to encourage spot blotch (SB) disease cau

Complex genetic and epigenetic regulation deviates gene expression from a unifying global transcriptional program.

Environmental or genetic perturbations lead to gene expression changes.While most analyses of these changes emphasize the presence of qualitative differences on just a few genes, we now know that changes are widespread.This large-scale variation has been linked to the exclusive influence of a global transcriptional program determined by the new phy
