Studies on a transgenic approach to decrease gliadin content in wheat

Creator:

Bell, Shannon M.

Abstract:

Celiac disease, an autoimmune response triggered by the consumption of seed storage proteins of cereals, affects an estimated 1% of the human population. In the case of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), one of the world’s most consumed cereals, alcohol-soluble proteins, the gliadins, have been identified as the allergy-eliciting agents. Previous...

Understanding epistasis in linkage analysis : The Kap and lks2 loci in the Oregon Wolfe Barley poputlation

Creator:

McCoy, Serena B.

Abstract:

An organisms' genotype may not be reflected in its phenotype. For example, epistasis - the interaction of non-allelic genes can cause deviations from expected phenotypic ratios. The epistatic interaction between the hooded (Kap) and short-awned (lks2) loci in barley (Hordeum vulgare) precludes the localization of the Kap locus, based on...

Genetic analysis of BYVD resistance and low temperature tolerance in winter x spring barley crosses

Creator:

Zitzewitz, Jarislav W. von

Abstract:

The development of winter 6-row malting barley varieties is an objective of the OSU program. The program's winter germplasm is quite susceptible to Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV). The program recently released the spring 2-row variety Orca, which carries the Yd2 gene for BYDV resistance. The objective of this project...
