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 …

Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …

Drought drastically restricts wheat production, so to dissect allelic variations of drought
tolerant genes without imposing trade-offs between tolerance and yield is essential to cope …

Triticeae, the wheatgrass tribe, includes several major cereal crops and their wild relatives.
Major crops within the Triticeae are wheat, barley and rye which are important for human …

The considerable drought tolerance of wild cereal crop progenitors has diminished during
domestication in the pursuit of higher productivity. Regaining this trait in cereal crops is …

Divergent selection of populations in contrasting environments leads to functional genomic
divergence. However, the genomic architecture underlying heterogeneous genomic …

Major crops are all survivors of domestication bottlenecks. Studies have focused on the
genetic loci related to the domestication syndrome, while the contribution of ancient …

Background The cost of high-throughput sequencing is rapidly decreasing, allowing
researchers to investigate genomic variations across hundreds or even thousands of …

Heat stress is a limiting factor in wheat production along with global warming. Development
of heat-tolerant wheat varieties and generation of suitable pre-breeding materials are the …

Bread wheat provides an essential fraction of the daily calorific intake for humanity. Due to
its huge and complex genome, progress in studying on the wheat genome is substantially …
