Full TextAbstract
E. Valiellahi, A. Niazi and M. Farsi Abstract: To determine the genetic nature of these mechanisms, several cold-responsive genes were identified. Wcor14, a member of the wheat cold-responsive (Cor) gene family, in this study has been isolated and characterized from ancient wheat ancestor Aegilops tauschii. The deduced polypeptide Aegilops tauschii WCOR14 a hydrophobic polypeptide with 140 amino acids (MW = 13.5 kDa) showed high homology to the previously identified wheat and barley COR proteins. Analyses of the cDNA and genomic DNA sequences in this study suggested that, Aegilops tauschii Wcor14 and its related sequences constitute a small multigene family with different intron sizes. The transcripts Analyses of Wcor14 suggested that Wcor14 transcripts were up-regulated within 3-6 h of cold acclimation at 4°C. We used SCRATCH server for protein structure prediction.
