Polyploidy or duplication of an entire genome occurs in the majority of angiosperms. The
understanding of polyploid genomes is important for the improvement of those crops, which …

Improvement in traits of agronomic importance is the top breeding priority of crop
improvement programs. Majority of these agronomic traits show complex quantitative …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

Fusarium head blight (FHB), which is mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum, is a
destructive wheat disease that threatens global wheat production. Fhb1, a quantitative trait …

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 …

While prokaryotic pan-genomes have been shown to contain many more genes than any
individual organism, the prevalence and functional significance of differentially present …

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 …

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are major components of large plant
genomes and main drivers of genome evolution. The most recent assembly of hexaploid …

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 …

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 …
