dCAPS markers developed for nitrate transporter genes TaNRT2L12s associating with 1 000-grain weight in wheat

Nitrate transporters (NRTs) are regulators of nitrate assimilation and transport. The genome sequences of TaNRT2L12-A, -B and -D were cloned from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and polymorphisms were analyzed by sequencing. TaNRT2L12-D in a germplasm population was highly conserved. However, 38 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TaNRT2L12-A coding region and 11 SNPs in TaNRT2L12-B coding region were detected. Two derived cleaved amplified...
