Comprehensive molecular analysis of arginase-encoding genes in common wheat and its progenitor species

Abstract Arginase (ARG) contributes to nitrogen remobilization by conversion of arginine to ornithine and urea. However, wheat ARG genes have not yet been identified. Here we isolated and characterized ARG genes from wheat and its progenitor species and found that a single copy was present in wheat...
