Many important crop species have genomes originating from ancestral or recent
polyploidisation events. Multiple homoeologous gene copies, chromosomal rearrangements …

The major abiotic and biotic stresses that adversely affect yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum
L.) include drought, heat, fusarium wilt, ascochyta blight and pod borer. Excellent progress …

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 …

There is an increasing understanding that variation in gene presence–absence plays an
important role in the heritability of agronomic traits; however, there have been relatively few …

Allohexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) provides approximately 20% of calories
consumed by humans. Lack of genome sequence for the three homeologous and highly …

Background Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are providing new ways to
accelerate fine-mapping and gene isolation in many species. To date, the majority of these …

With the gluten-free food market worth almost $1.6 bn in 2011, there is every reason for
renewed interest in ancient grains. This resurgent interest is expressed in re-discovering …

Marker‐assisted breeding provides an opportunity for wheat breeders to introgress/pyramid
genes of interest into breeding lines and to identify genes and/or quantitative trait loci in …

Wheat is the third most important crop for human nutrition in the world. The availability of
high‐resolution genetic and physical maps and ultimately a complete genome sequence …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of humanity's most important staple crops,
characterized by a large and complex genome with a high level of gene presence–absence …
