The development of multiple chromosome-scale reference genome sequences in many
taxonomic groups has yielded a high-resolution view of the patterns and processes of …

Spike architecture influences grain yield in wheat. We report the map-based cloning of a
gene determining the number of spikelet nodes per spike in common wheat. The cloned …

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 …

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 …

We have established a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for the hexaploid
common wheat cultivar 'Fielder', an American, soft, white, pastry-type wheat released in …

Isoflavones are a group of phenolic compounds mostly restricted to plants of the legume
family, where they mediate important interactions with plant-associated microbes, including …

Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), can significantly affect
wheat production. Cloning resistance genes is critical for efficient and effective breeding of …
