Ov. Bougri et al., CHROMOSOMAL ASSIGNMENT OF THE GENES ENCODING GLUTAMYL-TRANSFER-RNA REDUCTASE IN BARLEY, WHEAT, AND RYE AND THEIR ORGANIZATION IN THE BARLEYGENOME, Hereditas, 124(1), 1996, pp. 1-6
The HemA genes encoding glutamyl-tRNA reductase, an important enzyme i
n chlorophyll and heme biosynthesis, are located on barley chromosome
5 (1H), homoeologous chromosomes 1A, 1B, and 1D of common wheat, and r
ye chromosome 1R. Southern blot analyses revealed a low copy multigene
family for HemA genes in the barley genome.
