Description
Yuanyuan Guan and eight co-authors published a 2024 study mapping the GRAS gene family in wheat and testing one member against powdery mildew. This fungal disease cuts wheat yield and quality worldwide, and GRAS proteins steer plant growth and stress responses. The team found 179 GRAS genes spread unevenly over seven chromosomes, sorted into twelve subfamilies. Gene duplication, mostly large segmental copies, explained the family's rapid growth.
Three quarters of the expressed genes answered to biological stresses. Focusing on one gene, TaeSCL6, the team showed it reacts to mildew infection. Wheat with that gene silenced, by two independent methods, caught the disease more easily. The authors conclude the gene defends wheat and offer the family map as breeding material for resistant cultivars.
