Abstract excerpt
Most hexaploid wheat genes are present as triplicate homoeologs derived from the ancestral species. Previously, we isolated six wheat cDNAs with open reading frame, encoding methyl CpG-binding domain proteins (MBDs). In this study, the genomic and cDNA sequences of three TaMBD2 homoeologous genes were obtained and mapped on chromosomes 5A, 5B and 5D, respectively. These sequences showed a very high conservation...
