Wheat is one of the most widely cultivated crops and, being the staple diet of more than 40
countries, it plays an imperative role in food security. Wheat has remarkable genetic …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), with a large genome (16000 Mb) and high proportion (∼ 80%)
of repetitive sequences, has been a difficult crop for genomics research. However, the …

Deployment of fast-evolving disease-resistance genes is one of the most successful
strategies used by plants to fend off pathogens 1, 2. In gene-for-gene relationships, most …

We produced a reference sequence of the 1-gigabase chromosome 3B of hexaploid bread
wheat. By sequencing 8452 bacterial artificial chromosomes in pools, we assembled a …

In crop plants, a high-density genetic linkage map is essential for both genetic and genomic
researches. The complexity and the large size of wheat genome have hampered the …

Rust and late leaf spot (LLS) are the two major foliar fungal diseases in groundnut, and their
co‐occurrence leads to significant yield loss in addition to the deterioration of fodder quality …

Grain yield is a major goal for the improvement of durum wheat, particularly in drought-prone
areas. In this study, the genetic basis of grain yield (GY), heading date (HD), and plant …

Background High temperature (heat) stress during grain filling is a major problem in most of
the wheat growing areas. Developing heat tolerant cultivars has become a principal …

Key message A novel high-density consensus wheat genetic map was obtained based on
three related RIL populations, and the important chromosomal regions affecting yield and …

A new genetic linkage map was constructed based on recombinant inbred lines (RILs)
derived from the cross between the Chinese winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties …
