The RNA-mediated silencing of one of the Pin genes in allohexaploid wheat simultaneously decreases the expression of the other, and increases grain hardness

The RNAi-mediated silencing of Pina and Pinb, the two genes responsible for the grain texture of allohexaploid wheat, was induced and analysed in two wheat cultivars, Kontesa and Torka. A characterization of the two genes in non-transgenic plants revealed that Pinb carries a point mutation, designat...
