Pollution with heavy metals is a common problem worldwide that affects the growth of
important crops and human health due to the consumption of contaminated crops. In the …

Due to the low genetic diversity in the current wheat germplasm, gene mining from wild
relatives is essential to develop new wheat cultivars that are more resilient to the changing …

Narrow genetic diversity in the wheat gene pool restricts the improvement of wheat quality
traits. Aegilops tauschii possesses valuable genetic diversity that can be used to improve not …

Anthocyanin biosynthesis in plants is complex, especially in a polyploid monocot wheat
plant. Using whole-genome sequencing, transcriptomics, and LC-MS/MS, we investigated …

Heat stress during grain filling is considered one of the major abiotic factors influencing
wheat grain yield and quality in arid and semi-arid regions. We studied the effect of heat …

Key message The multiple derivative lines (MDLs) characterized in this study offer a
promising strategy for harnessing the diversity of wild emmer wheat for durum and bread …

Wheat is highly sensitive to temperature beyond the optimum. To improve wheat adaptation
to heat stress, the best option is to exploit the diversity of wild wheat progenitors. This study …

Key message GWAS on a bread wheat panel with high D genome diversity identified novel
alleles and QTLs associated with resilience to combined heat and drought stress under …

Kernel hardness influences the milling and baking quality of wheat. Stress environments
such as heat and combined heat-drought can produce harder kernels, thereby affecting the …

In the face of climate change, bringing more useful alleles and genes from wild relatives of
wheat is crucial to develop climate-resilient varieties. We used two populations of …
