Abstract excerpt
To elucidate some of the molecular mechanisms involved in genome differentiation and evolution of cultivated wheats, we compared orthologous genes encoding starch branching enzyme IIa (SBEIIa). Bread wheat is an allohexaploid species comprising the three genomes A, B and D, each of which contributes a copy of the SBEIIa gene, involved in starch biosynthesis and known to control important quality traits related to...
