The present invention provides a wheat plant comprising an Rht-B1 allele which encodes an Rht-B1 (DELLA) polypeptide. Grain from a near-isogenic wheat line comprising the dwarfing Rht-B1c allele was subjected to sodium azide mutagenesis. Plants exhibiting early leaf elongation rates or mature plant height greater than the dwarf parent were selected and the Rht-B1 gene sequenced. This identified 35 mutated alleles of Rht-B1c. Similar methods were also used to identify mutant alleles of the dwarfing sln1d allele in barley, where DELLA is encoded by the sln1 gene.

Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the wheat cultivar 01092986 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing wheat plants by crossing the wheat cultivar 01092986 with itself or another wheat cultivar and plants produced by such methods.

The invention relates to the wheat cultivar designated 01092991. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the wheat cultivar 01092991. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the wheat cultivar 01092991 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing wheat plants by crossing the wheat cultivar 01092991 with itself or another wheat cultivar and plants produced by such methods.

The invention relates to the wheat cultivar designated 01092988. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants and derivatives of the wheat cultivar 01092988. Also provided by the invention are tissue cultures of the wheat cultivar 01092988 and the plants regenerated therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing wheat plants by crossing the wheat cultivar 01092988 with itself or another wheat cultivar and plants produced by such methods.

Compositions and methods for modulating male fertility in a plant are provided. Compositions comprise nucleotide sequences, and fragments and variants thereof, which modulate male fertility. Further provided are expression cassettes comprising the male fertility polynucleotides, or fragments or variants thereof, operably linked to a promoter, wherein expression of the polynucleotides modulates the male fertility of a plant. Various methods are provided wherein the level and/or activity of the sequences that influence male fertility is modulated in a plant or plant part. In certain embodiments, the plant is polyploid.

A Yr4DS gene of Aegilops tauschii and its use thereof in stripe rust resistance breeding of Triticeae plants. Said gene has a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 3, SEQ ID NO. 5, SEQ ID NO. 7, SEQ ID NO. 9, or SEQ ID NO. 10.

This invention relates to compositions and methods for modifying root architecture in a plant through modification of an endogenous Ser-Thr protein kinase gene, such as endogenous PHOSPHOROUS STARVATION TOLERANCE 1 (PSTOL1) nucleic acids. The invention further relates to plants produced using the methods and compositions of the invention.

A series of independent human-induced non-transgenic mutations found at one or more of the Lpx genes of wheat; wheat plants having these mutations in one or more of their Lpx genes; and a method of creating and finding similar and/or additional mutations of Lpx by screening pooled and/or individual wheat plants. The wheat plants disclosed herein exhibit decreased lipoxygenase activity without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes. Additionally, products produced from the wheat plants disclosed herein display increased oxidative stability and increased shelf life without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.

A wheat variety designated 6PWGL11B, the plants and seeds of wheat variety 6PWGL11B, methods for producing a wheat plant produced by crossing the variety 6PWGL11B with another wheat plant, and hybrid wheat seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety 6PWGL11B with another wheat line or plant, and the creation of variants by backcrossing, mutagenesis or transformation of variety 6PWGL11B are disclosed. Methods for producing other wheat varieties or breeding lines derived from wheat variety 6PWGL11B and to wheat varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods are also provided.
