De novo domestication: an alternative route toward new crops for the future
Current global agricultural production must feed over 7 billion people. However, productivity
varies greatly across the globe and is under threat from both increased competitions for land …

Horizontal gene transfer of Fhb7 from fungus underlies Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat
INTRODUCTION Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease that devastates global
wheat production, with losses of billions of dollars annually. Unlike foliar diseases, FHB …
