Wheat, including durum and common wheat, respectively, is an allopolyploid with two or
three homoeologous subgenomes originating from diploid wild ancestral species. The …

Pathogens are major constraints for wheat and triticale production. This review provides a
present state of knowledge about pathogen resistance genes in wheat-rye and triticale …

Stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) is one of the most severe diseases for
wheat production. An important method to improve the stripe rust resistance of wheat is to …

Secale cereale is an important crop in the Triticeae tribe of the Poaceae family, and it has
unique agronomic characteristics and genome properties. It possesses resistance to many …

Effective utilization of genetic diversity in wild relatives to improve wheat requires
recombination between wheat and alien chromosomes. However, this is suppressed by the …

Plants have evolved sophisticated systems to cope with the environmental stresses, with the
heat shock factor (HSF) family proteins composing an integral part of the transcriptional …

Background The wheat-rye 1BL. 1RS translocations have played an important role in
common wheat breeding programs. Subtelomeric tandem repeats have been often used to …

Cultivated and wild species of the genus rye (Secale) are important but underexploited gene
sources for increasing the genetic diversity of bread wheat. Gene transfer is possible via …

Rye (Secale cereale subsp. cereale L.) has long been exploited as a valuable alternative
genetic resource in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding. Indeed, the introgression of rye …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) quality is a major focus of wheat breeding, which is influenced
by multiple factors. The Huang-Huai wheat region, one of the main wheat-producing areas …
