Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Simple Summary Many crops including wheat have a narrow genetic base after hundreds of
years of breeding and selection. This makes it difficult to breed new varieties with increased …

Sequence assembly of large and repeat-rich plant genomes has been challenging,
requiring substantial computational resources and often several complementary sequence …

The introgression of chromosome segments from wild relatives is an established strategy to
enrich crop germplasm with disease-resistance genes. Here we use mutagenesis and …

Background Bread wheat is one of the most important and broadly studied crops. However,
due to the complexity of its genome and incomplete genome collection of wild populations …

Introgressions of chromosomal segments from related species into wheat are important
sources of resistance against fungal diseases. The durability and effectiveness of …

Wild wheat relatives have been explored in plant breeding to increase the genetic diversity
of bread wheat, one of the most important food crops. Aegilops umbellulata is a diploid U …

Precise utilization of wild genetic resources to improve the resistance of their cultivated
relatives to environmental growth limiting factors, such as salinity stress and diseases …

Wheat productivity has been significantly improved worldwide through the incorporation of
novel genes from various gene pools, not least from wild relatives of wheat, into the …

Wheat is the most widely-grown crop globally, providing 20% of the daily consumed calories
and protein content around the world. With the growing global population and frequent …
