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 …

Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important
crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is largely …

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 …

Rye is a valuable food and forage crop, an important genetic resource for wheat and triticale
improvement and an indispensable material for efficient comparative genomic studies in …

Bread wheat expanded its habitat from a core area of the Fertile Crescent to global
environments within~ 10,000 years. The genetic mechanisms of this remarkable …

Deep knowledge of crop biodiversity is essential to improving global food security. Despite
bread wheat serving as a keystone crop worldwide, the population history of bread wheat …

Common wheat (Triticum aestivum, BBAADD) is a major staple food crop worldwide. The
diploid progenitors of the A and D subgenomes have been unequivocally identified; that of …

Despite the substantial role that chickens have played in human societies across the world,
both the geographic and temporal origins of their domestication remain controversial. To …

The great efforts spent in the maintenance of past diversity in genebanks are rationalized by
the potential role of plant genetic resources (PGR) in future crop improvement—a concept …
