Genes regularly move within species, to/from crops, as well as to their con‐specific
progenitors, feral and weedy forms ('vertical'gene flow). Genes occasionally move to/from …

Pollen-mediated gene flow (PMGF) refers to the transfer of genetic information (alleles) from
one plant to another compatible plant. With the evolution of herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds …

This open access book covers a century of research on wheat genetics and evolution,
starting with the discovery in 1918 of the accurate number of chromosomes in wheat. We re …

Recent advancements in biotechnology resulted in rapid adoption of genetically modified
(GM) crops in the agriculture systems. At the same time, transgene escape has also been …

Some plant species are particularly well adapted to environments disturbed by humans.
Often such species are invasive and problematic, and thus are classified as weeds. Despite …

Winter annual grass species such as jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host), downy
brome (Bromus tectorum L.), and feral rye (Secale cereale L.) negatively affect winter wheat …

Hybridization, polyploidization, and crop‐to‐wild gene transfer within the agriculturally
important tribe Triticeae are well explored experimentally, but the true consequences of both …

Gene flow between jointed goatgrass and winter wheat is a concern because transfer of
herbicide-resistance genes from imidazolinone-resistant (IR) winter wheat cultivars to …

Weeds have been controlled so successfully by herbicides, subsequently supplemented by
transgenic herbicide-resistant crops, that past intractable problems have been ignored and …

Triticale (xTriticosecale Wittmack) is a promising cereal platform for novel bioindustrial
products being developed using genetic engineering (GE). Before GE crop varieties are …
