Understanding the function of genes within staple crops will accelerate crop improvement by
allowing targeted breeding approaches. Despite their importance, a lack of genomic …

Improving traits in wheat has historically been challenging due to its large and polyploid
genome, limited genetic diversity and in‐field phenotyping constraints. However, within …

Abstract Ensembl Genomes (http://www. ensemblgenomes. org) is an integrating resource
for genome-scale data from non-vertebrate species, complementing the resources for …

INTRODUCTION Polyploidy, arising from whole-genome duplication or interspecific
hybridization, is ubiquitous across the plant and fungal kingdoms. The presence of highly …

Targeted selection and inbreeding have resulted in a lack of genetic diversity in elite
hexaploid bread wheat accessions. Reduced diversity can be a limiting factor in the …

During the last three decades, QTL analysis in wheat has been conducted for a variety of
individual traits, so that thousands of QTL along with the linked markers, their genetic …

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

The use of plant genetic resources (PGR)—wild relatives, landraces, and isolated breeding
gene pools—has had substantial impacts on wheat breeding for resistance to biotic and …

Genetic studies increasingly rely on high-throughput phenotyping, but the resulting
longitudinal data pose analytical challenges. We used canopy height data from an …

To feed more than 9 billion people by 2050, increased food production must be
accomplished with reduced agricultural inputs in the face of climate change. Wild relatives of …
