Glossary
A type of genetic resistance in cereals that is effective during the later growth stages and may protect plants from a range of disease-causing pathogens
Scientific name for Tausch's goat grass or rough-spike hard grass, is an annual grass species and progenitor of D-genome of bread wheat
Commonly known as Wheat Tall-grass, is a wild progenitor of common wheat
A type of genetic resistance in cereals that is effective during All stages of plant growth and sometimes referred as seedling resistance
The alternative form or versions of a gene
Unit of double-stranded nucleic acids
Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maíz y Trigo in Spanish and also known as International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in English, is Mexico
CAPs polymorphisms are differences in restriction fragment lengths caused by SNPs or INDELs that create or abolish restriction endonuclease recognition sites in PCR amplicons produced by locus-specific oligonucleotide primers.
A genetic marker that can detect both alleles and differentiate between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes
A plants ability to prevent or reduce the presence of disease
The presence of two or more variant forms of a specific DNA sequence that can occur among different individuals or populations
A marker derived from the gene responsible for resistance
Refers to plants, seed, or cultures maintained for the purposes of studying, managing, or using the genetic information they possess
A fluorescence-based genotyping variant of PCR which utilises SNP variation between sequences
A genetic marker which is present in close physical proximity to the actual gene
Is an indirect selection process where a trait of interest is selected based on a marker (morphological, biochemical or DNA/RNA variation) linked to a trait of interest e.g., rust resistance
Specific fragments of DNA that can be identified within the whole genome
Oligonucleotides are short, single-stranded polymers of nucleic acid. Oligonucleotide Primers are designed with at least part of their sequence complementary to the 5' end of the sequence targeted for amplification
A molecular marker which requires using PCR technique to amplify a section of DNA while may be linked to e.g., rust resistance
A nucleic acid amplification technique used to denature and renature short segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences using DNA polymerase to make multiple copies of the sequence
Scientific name for cereal Rye
Also referred as Microsatellite marker. SSRs are based on DNA stretches consisting of short, tandemly repeated di-, tri-, tetra-or penta-nucleotide motifs
Is a genomic variant at a single base position in the DNA.
Sequence- Tagged Site, short, easily PCR-amplified sequence (200 to 500 bp) which can be specifically amplified by PCR and detected in the presence of all other genomic sequences and whose location in the genome is mapped
Commonly known as Wheat Tall-grass, is a wild progenitor of common wheat
Scientific name for bread or common wheat
Referred to as Einkorn wheat. The wild form is T. boeoticum, and the domesticated form is T. monococcum
Commonly refereed as Spelt wheat, also known as dinkel wheat or hulled wheat, is a species of wheat that has been cultivated since approximately 5000 BCE
Zanduri wheat, is a tetraploid wheat that has both cultivated and wild forms. It is believed to have evolved in isolation from the more common Triticum turgidum
Commonly referred as Durum or Pasta wheat, It is the second most cultivated species of wheat
Scientific name for wild emmer wheat and early progenitor of bread wheat
