Many groups of closely related species have reticulate phylogenies. Recent genomic
analyses are showing this in many insects and vertebrates, as well as in microbes and …

Domestication is a co-evolutionary process that occurs when wild plants are brought into
cultivation by humans, leading to origin of new species and/or differentiated populations that …

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 …

Rye is a valuable food and forage crop, an important genetic resource for wheat and triticale
improvement and an indispensable material for efficient comparative genomic studies in …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) was the first domesticated wheat species, and was central
to the birth of agriculture and the Neolithic Revolution in the Fertile Crescent around 10,000 …

Common wheat (Triticum aestivum, BBAADD) is a major staple food crop worldwide. The
