Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Wheat is a crop of historical significance, as it marks the turning point of human civilization
10,000 years ago with its domestication. Due to the rapid increase in population, wheat …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a staple food for about 40% of the world's population. As the
global population has grown and living standards improved, high yield and improved …

An ordered draft sequence of the 17-gigabase hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)

The great efforts spent in the maintenance of past diversity in genebanks are rationalized by
the potential role of plant genetic resources (PGR) in future crop improvement—a concept …

Genetic variation ranging from single-nucleotide polymorphisms to large structural variants
(SVs) can cause variation of gene content among individuals within the same species. There …

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriksson (Pt), is one of the most severe foliar diseases
of wheat. Breeding for leaf rust resistance is a practical and sustainable method to control …

Plants have developed effective mechanisms to recognize and respond to infections caused
by pathogens. Plant resistance gene analogs (RGAs), as resistance (R) gene candidates …

Powdery mildew, a fungal disease caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), has a
serious impact on wheat production. Loss of resistance in cultivars prompts a continuing …
