Cereals are grown in almost every region of the world and are exposed to a variety of
environmental stresses that severely affect their growth and grain yield. Of various abiotic …

Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are one of the most informative and
multi-purpose genetic markers exploited in plant functional genomics. However, the …

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 …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally important crop, accounting for 20 per cent of
the calories consumed by humans. Major efforts are underway worldwide to increase wheat …

Three subfamilies of grasses, the Ehrhartoideae, Panicoideae and Pooideae, provide the
bulk of human nutrition and are poised to become major sources of renewable energy. Here …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum, AABBDD) is one of the most widely cultivated and
consumed food crops in the world. However, the complex polyploid nature of its genome …

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 …

Background Microsatellite (simple sequence repeat–SSR) and single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) markers are two types of important genetic markers useful in genetic …

We produced a reference sequence of the 1-gigabase chromosome 3B of hexaploid bread
wheat. By sequencing 8452 bacterial artificial chromosomes in pools, we assembled a …

We used a novel approach that incorporated chromosome sorting, next-generation
sequencing, array hybridization, and systematic exploitation of conserved synteny with …
