Wild animals and plants have developed a variety of adaptive traits driven by adaptive
evolution, an important strategy for species survival and persistence. Uncovering the …

Triticeae, the wheatgrass tribe, includes several major cereal crops and their wild relatives.
Major crops within the Triticeae are wheat, barley and rye which are important for human …

The great efforts spent in the maintenance of past diversity in genebanks are rationalized by
the potential role of plant genetic resources (PGR) in future crop improvement—a concept …

Crop translational genomics applies breeding techniques based on genomic datasets to
improve crops. Technological breakthroughs in the past ten years have made it possible to …

Despite recent progress in crop genomics studies, the genomic changes brought about by
modern breeding selection are still poorly understood, thus hampering genomics-assisted …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L., AABBDD, 2n= 6x= 42), which accounts for most of the
cultivated wheat crop worldwide, is a typical allohexaploid with a genome derived from three …

Background The massive structural variations and frequent introgression highly contribute to
the genetic diversity of wheat, while the huge and complex genome of polyploid wheat …

A resistance gene atlas is an integral component of the breeder's arsenal in the fight against
evolving pathogens. Thanks to high‐throughput sequencing, catalogues of resistance genes …

Key message We evaluated the potential of wheat wild relatives for the improvement in grain
quality characteristics including micronutrients (Fe, Zn) and gluten and identified diploid …

Plant breeders have indirectly selected for variation at circadian-associated loci in many of
the world's major crops, when breeding to increase yield and improve crop performance …
