FANCM promotes class I interfering crossovers and suppresses class II non-int...
AbstractFANCM suppresses crossovers in plants by unwinding recombination intermediates. In wheat, crossovers are skewed toward the chromosome ends, thus limiting generation of... -
The Use and Limitations of Exome Capture to Detect Novel Variation in the Hex...
The bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) pangenome is a patchwork of variable regions, including translocations and introgressions from progenitors and wild relatives. Although a... -
Identification of a novel stripe rust resistance gene from the European winte...
All stage resistance to stripe rust races prevalent in India was investigated in the European winter wheat cultivar ‘Acienda’. In order to dissect the genetic basis of the... -
Population structure and genome-wide association studies in bread wheat for p...
AbstractSoil bioavailability of phosphorus (P) is a major concern for crop productivity worldwide. As phosphatic fertilizers are a non-renewable resource associated with... -
Molecular Diversity within a Mediterranean and European Panel of Tetraploid W...
High-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) molecular markers are widely used to assess the genetic variability of plant varieties and cultivars, which is nowadays... -
The role of gene flow and chromosomal instability in shaping the bread wheat ...
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the world’s most important crops; however, a low level of genetic diversity within commercial breeding accessions can significantly... -
CerealsDB—new tools for the analysis of the wheat genome: update 2020
Abstract CerealsDB (www.cerealsdb.uk.net) is an online repository of mainly hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genotyping data. The... -
Developing a High-Throughput SNP-Based Marker System to Facilitate the Introg...
The genus Aegilops contains a diverse collection of wild species exhibiting variation in geographical distribution, ecological adaptation, ploidy and genome organisation.... -
Variation in key leaf photosynthetic traits across wheat wild relatives is ac...
The wild relatives of modern wheat represent an underutilized source of genetic and phenotypic diversity and are of interest in breeding owing to their wide adaptation to... -
Genetic variation in wheat grain quality is associated with differences in th...
Lipids affect the quality of wheat flour for breadmaking. One possible mechanism is stabilization of the gas cells which are formed during dough mixing and expanded during... -
Examining the Effects of Temperature on Recombination in Wheat
Meiotic recombination plays a crucial role in the generation of new varieties. The effectiveness of recombination is limited by the distribution of crossover events, which in... -
Identification of a major QTL and associated molecular marker for high arabin...
Dietary fibre (DF) has multiple health benefits and wheat grains are major sources of DF for human health. However, DF is depleted in white wheat flour which is more widely... -
Historical changes in the contents and compositions of fibre components and p...
Thirty-nine UK adapted wheat cultivars dating from between 1790 and 2012 were grown in replicated randomised field trials for three years, milled, and white flour analysed for... -
Segregation distortion: Utilizing simulated genotyping data to evaluate stati...
Segregation distortion is the phenomenon in which genotypes deviate from expected Mendelian ratios in the progeny of a cross between two varieties or species. There is not... -
Conversion of array-based single nucleotide polymorphic markers for use in ta...
Wheat breeders and academics alike use single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as molecular markers to characterize regions of interest within the hexaploid wheat genome. A... -
Quantifying rooting at depth in a wheat doubled haploid population with intro...
The genetic basis of increased rooting below the plough layer, post-anthesis in the field, of an elite wheat line (Triticum aestivum ‘Shamrock’) with recent introgression from... -
Development of an Agrobacterium -delivered CRISPR/Cas9 system for wheat genom...
CRISPR/Cas9 has been widely used for genome editing in many organisms, including important crops like wheat. Despite the tractability in designing CRISPR/Cas9, efficacy in the... -
High-density genotyping of the A.E. Watkins Collection of hexaploid landraces...
The importance of wheat as a food crop makes it a major target for agricultural improvements. As one of the most widely grown cereal grains, together with maize and rice, wheat... -
Characterization of a Wheat Breeders’ Array suitable for high-throughput SNP ...
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...
