Wheat is the most important staple crop in temperate zones and is in increasing demand in
countries undergoing urbanization and industrialization. In addition to being a major source …

With the rapid increase in the global population and the impact of climate change on
agriculture, there is a need for crops with higher yields and greater tolerance to abiotic …

Gene cloning in repeat-rich polyploid genomes remains challenging. Here, we describe a
strategy for overcoming major bottlenecks in cloning of the powdery mildew resistance gene …

Comprehensive reverse genetic resources, which have been key to understanding gene
function in diploid model organisms, are missing in many polyploid crops. Young polyploid …

Yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a devastating fungal disease
threatening much of global wheat production. Race-specific resistance (R)-genes are used …

Identification of causal mutations in barley and wheat is hampered by their large genomes
and suppressed recombination. To overcome these obstacles, we have developed …

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are being used to generate whole genome
sequences for a wide range of crop species. When combined with precise phenotyping …

This brief historical review focuses on durum wheat domestication and breeding in the
Mediterranean region. Important milestones in durum wheat breeding programs across the …

Understanding the genetic bases of economically important traits is fundamentally important
in enhancing genetic gains in durum wheat. In this study, a durum panel of 208 lines …

Wheat is one of the most widely grown cereal crops in the world and is an important food
grain source for humans. However, wheat yields can be reduced by many abiotic and biotic …
