Abstract excerpt
Recycling of unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular structures through autophagy plays a critical role in cellular homeostasis and environmental resilience. Therefore, the autophagy trait may have been unintentionally selected in wheat breeding programs for higher yields in arid climates. This hypothesis was tested by measuring the response of three common autophagy markers, ATG7, ATG8, and NBR1, to a heat wave...
