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 …

The persistent triploid endosperms of cereal crops are the most important source of human
food and animal feed. The development of cereal endosperms progresses through …

In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), breeding efforts have focused intensively on improving grain
yield and quality. For quality, the content and composition of seed storage proteins (SSPs) …

High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are storage proteins present in the
starchy endosperm cells of wheat grain. Encoding the synthesis of HMW-GS, the Glu-1 loci …

Elucidation of the composition, functional characteristics, and formation mechanism of wheat
quality is critical for the sustainable development of wheat industry. It is well documented …

Key message The wheat transcription factor bZIPC1 interacts with FT2 and affects spikelet
and grain number per spike. We identified a natural allele with positive effects on these two …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L., AABBDD, 2n= 6x= 42), which accounts for most of the
cultivated wheat crop worldwide, is a typical allohexaploid with a genome derived from three …

Key message Recent genomic and functional genomics analyses have substantially
improved the understanding on gluten proteins, which are important determinants of wheat …

High‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GS), a major component of seed storage
proteins (SSP) in wheat, largely determine processing quality. HMW‐GS encoded by GLU‐1 …

A meta-analysis of QTLs associated with grain protein content (GPC) was conducted in
hexaploid and tetraploid wheat to identify robust and stable meta-QTLs (MQTLs). For this …
