Abstract Background and Objectives Wheat gluten proteins make up one of the most
complex protein aggregates in nature. Their qualitative and quantitative composition is …

Disease-resistance (R) gene cloning in wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been accelerated by
the recent surge of genomic resources, facilitated by advances in sequencing technologies …

Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important
crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is largely …

Aegilops tauschii, the diploid wild progenitor of the D subgenome of bread wheat, is a
reservoir of genetic diversity for improving bread wheat performance and environmental …

Deep knowledge of crop biodiversity is essential to improving global food security. Despite
bread wheat serving as a keystone crop worldwide, the population history of bread wheat …

Bread wheat expanded its habitat from a core area of the Fertile Crescent to global
environments within~ 10,000 years. The genetic mechanisms of this remarkable …

Crop breeding for resistance to pathogens largely relies on genes encoding receptors that
confer race-specific immunity. Here, we report the identification of the wheat Pm4 race …

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is an exceptionally climate-resilient cereal crop, used extensively to
produce improved wheat varieties via introgressive hybridization and possessing the entire …

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

Increasing crop production is necessary to feed the world's expanding population, and crop
breeders often utilize genetic variations to improve crop yield and quality. However, the …
