    • Genetic association of OPR genes with resistance to Hessian fly in hexaploid wheat 

      Tan, Chor Tee; Carver, Brett Frederick; Chen, Ming-Shun; Gu, Yong-Qiang; Yan, Liuling (BioMed Central, 2013-06-01)
      Background: Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) is one of the most destructive pests of wheat. The genes encoding 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase (OPR) and lipoxygenase (LOX) play critical roles in insect resistance ...
    • Genetic basis of the very short life cycle of 'Apogee' wheat 

      Li, Genqiao; Boontung, Rungravee; Powers, Carol; Belamkar, Vikas; Huang, Tianrong; Miao, Fang; Baenziger, P. Stephen; Yan, Liuling (BioMed Central, 2017-10-31)
      Background: 'Apogee' has a very short life cycle among wheat cultivars (flowering 25 days after planting under a long day and without vernalization), and it is a unique genetic material that can be used to accelerate cycling ...
    • Precisely mapping a major gene conferring resistance to Hessian fly in bread wheat using genotyping-by-sequencing 

      Li, Genqiao; Wang, Ying; Chen, Ming-Shun; Edae, Erena; Poland, Jesse; Akhunov, Edward; Chao, Shiaoman; Bai, Guihua; Carver, Brett Frederick; Yan, Liuling (BioMed Central, 2015-02-15)
      Background: One of the reasons hard red winter wheat cultivar 'Duster' (PI 644016) is widely grown in the southern Great Plains is that it confers a consistently high level of resistance to biotype GP of Hessian fly (Hf). ...
