Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

The rapid development and application of molecular marker assays have facilitated genomic
selection and genome‐wide linkage and association studies in wheat breeding. Although …

Until recently, achieving a reference‐quality genome sequence for bread wheat was long
thought beyond the limits of genome sequencing and assembly technology, primarily due to …

The domestication of wild emmer wheat led to the selection of modern durum wheat, grown
mainly for pasta production. We describe the 10.45 gigabase (Gb) assembly of the genome …

Wild species related to agricultural crops (crop wild relatives, or CWR) can increase the
adaptive capacity of agricultural systems around the world. They represent a large pool of …

An ordered draft sequence of the 17-gigabase hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)
genome has been produced by sequencing isolated chromosome arms. We have annotated …

Controlled pedigrees and the multi-decade timescale of national crop plant breeding
programs offer a unique experimental context for examining how selection affects plant …

There is an increasing understanding that variation in gene presence–absence plays an
important role in the heritability of agronomic traits; however, there have been relatively few …

Introgression is a potential source of beneficial genetic diversity. The contribution of
introgression to adaptive evolution and improvement of wheat as it was disseminated …

Key message We developed and validated a robust marker toolkit for high-throughput and
cost-effective screening of a large number of functional genes in wheat. Abstract Functional …
