Finger millet: a “certain” crop for an “uncertain” future and a solution to food insecurity and hidden hunger under stressful environments
Crop growth and productivity has largely been vulnerable to various abiotic and biotic
stresses that are only set to be compounded due to global climate change. Therefore …

Impact of transposable elements on genome structure and evolution in bread wheat
Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of large plant
genomes and main drivers of genome evolution. The most recent assembly of hexaploid …

Rapid gene isolation in barley and wheat by mutant chromosome sequencing
Identification of causal mutations in barley and wheat is hampered by their large genomes
and suppressed recombination. To overcome these obstacles, we have developed …

Aegilops tauschii draft genome sequence reveals a gene repertoire for wheat adaptation
About 8,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, a spontaneous hybridization of the wild
diploid grass Aegilops tauschii (2 n= 14; DD) with the cultivated tetraploid wheat Triticum …

Natural variation in a homolog of Antirrhinum CENTRORADIALIS contributed to spring growth habit and environmental adaptation in cultivated barley
As early farming spread from the Fertile Crescent in the Near East around 10,000 years
before the present, domesticated crops encountered considerable ecological and …
