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 …

Crop yield reduction as a consequence of increasingly severe climatic events threatens
global food security. Genetic loci that ensure productivity in challenging environments exist …

Domesticated plants have long served as excellent models for studying evolution. Many
genes and mutations underlying important domestication traits have been identified, and …

Radiant spring frosts occurring during reproductive developmental stages can result in
catastrophic yield loss for wheat producers. To better understand the spatial and temporal …

Key message Recent technological advances in wheat genomics provide new opportunities
to uncover genetic variation in traits of breeding interest and enable genome-based …

Wheat varieties with a winter growth habit require long exposures to low temperatures
(vernalization) to accelerate flowering. Natural variation in four vernalization genes …

Highlights•The wheat genomics field evolves as full reference genome becomes
available.•Genomics will accelerate study and cloning of genes relevant to agriculture.• …

Grasses of the subfamily Pooideae, including important cereal crops and pasture grasses,
are widespread in temperate zones. Seasonal regulation of developmental transitions …

Heading date in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other small grain cereals is affected by the
vernalization and photoperiod pathways. The reduced-height loci also have an effect on …

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that play important
roles in biotic and abiotic stresses by regulating their target genes. For common wheat …
