QT:”
This advantage relates to the mechanism of UV-mediated crosslinking, which, although incompletely understood, is believed to involve absorption of UV light by nucleic acid bases44 to induce ground state electrons to a singlet higher-energy state that enables the electron to partake in a chemical reaction in which a new covalent bond is formed…

About bread wheat genome

December 17, 2012

QT:”
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally important crop, accounting for 20 per cent of the calories consumed by humans….Here we report the sequencing of its large, 17-gigabase-pair, hexaploid genome using 454 pyrosequencing, and comparison of this with the sequences of diploid ancestral and progenitor genomes. We identified between 94,000 and 96,000 genes.
