Ability of chromosome 4H to compensate for 4D in response to drought stress in a newly developed and identified wheat-barley 4H(4D) disomic substitution line
Molnár I, Linc G, Dulai SD Nagy E and Molnár-Láng M (2007). Ability of chromosome 4H to compensate for 4D in response to drought stress in a newly developed and identified wheat-barley 4H(4D) disomic substitution line. Plant Breeding 126(4):369–374. (DOI: 10.1111/j.1439-0523.2007.01300.x).
A spontaneously developed wheat–barley 4H(4D) disomic substitution line was identified cytogenetically using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), multicolour fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and microsatellite markers. The ability of the barley 4H chromosome to compensate for wheat 4D in response to mild drought stress was also investigated. In the barley cv. ‘Betzes’ and the 4H(4D) substitution line, mild osmotic stress induced intensive stomatal closure, resulting in reduced water loss through transpiration and unchanged relative water content in the leaves.

An integrated pipeline of open source software adapted for multi-CPU architectures: use in the large-scale identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms
Jayashree B, Hanspal MS, Srinivasan R, Vigneshwaran R, Varshney RK, Naya S, Eshwar K, Ramesh N, Chandra S and Hoisington DA (2007). An integrated pipeline of open source software adapted for multi-CPU architectures: use in the large-scale identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Comparative and Functional Genomics 2007, Article ID 35604 7 pp7. (DOI: 10.1155/2007/35604).
The large amounts of EST sequence data available from a single species of an organism as well as for several species within a genus provide an easy source of identification of intra- and interspecies single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In the case of model organisms, the data available are numerous, given the degree of redundancy in the deposited EST data. There are several available bioinformatics tools that can be used to mine this data; however, using them requires a certain level of expertise: the tools have to be used sequentially with accompanying format conversion and steps like clustering and assembly of sequences become time-intensive jobs even for moderately sized datasets.

Are source and sinks strengths genetically linked in maize plants subjected to water deficit? A QTL study of the responses of leaf growth and Anthesis-Silking Interval to water deficit.
Welcker C, Boussuge B, Bencivenni C, Ribaut J-M and Tardieu F (2007). Are source and sinks strengths genetically linked in maize plants subjected to water deficit? A QTL study of the responses of leaf growth and Anthesis-Silking Interval to water deficit. Journal of Experimental Botany 58(2):339–349. (DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erl227).
Leaf growth and Anthesis–Silking Interval (ASI) are the main determinants of source and sink strengths of maize via their relations with light interception and yield, respectively. They depend on the abilities of leaves and silks to expand under fluctuating environmental conditions, so the possibility is raised that they may have a partly common genetic determinism. This possibility was tested in a mapping population which segregates for ASI. Maximum leaf elongation rate per unit thermal time (parameter a) and the slopes of its responses to evaporative demand and soil water status (parameters b and c) were measured in greenhouse and growth chamber experiments, in two series of 120 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) studied in 2004 and 2005 with 33 RILs in common both years.

Bacteriophage lambda genomic library construction of Oryza sativa L. var. Pokkali
Rahman S, Masa-aki Ohto, Seraj S and Blumwald E (2007). Bacteriophage lambda genomic library construction of Oryza sativa L. var. Pokkali. Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology 17(2):149–159. (DOI: 10.3329/ptcb.v17i2.3235).
A major QTL called ‘Saltol’ on rice chromosome 1 has been identified as linked to salinity tolerance traits of the landrace, Pokkali. A genomic library of Pokkali rice variety was constructed in bacteriophage Lamda Fix II with 20 kb inserts. Plaques containing genes implicated to salt tolerance have been identified using probes homologous to S-Ad methionine synthetase (SAM) and cation chloride co-transporter after two rounds of hybridization. Clearly demarcated plaques of the two clones of interest have been lifted out for DNA isolation and subsequent characterization to be followed by subcloning into TAC vectors for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of large genomic fragments into sensitive rice.
