Evaluation of the susceptibility of modern, wild, ancestral, and mutational w...
Globally, bread wheat production is threatened by fungal diseases, including the devastating disease Septoria tritici blotch (STB). Given the global importance of STB, and the... -
ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM 2 encodes a STERILE ALPHA MOTIF-containing protein that...
Significance To date, the potential of utilizing root traits in plant breeding remains largely untapped. In this study, we cloned and characterized the ENHANCED... -
Wheat root systems as a breeding target for climate resilience
AbstractIn the coming decades, larger genetic gains in yield will be necessary to meet projected demand, and this must be achieved despite the destabilizing impacts of climate... -
Crossover-active regions of the wheat genome are distinguished by DMC1, the c...
The hexaploid bread wheat genome comprises over 16 gigabases of sequence across 21 chromosomes. Meiotic crossovers are highly polarized along the chromosomes, with elevation in... -
Distribution of <i>Puccinia striiformis</i> f. sp. <i>tritici</i> Races and V...
Stripe rust, caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a major threat to wheat (Triticum spp.) production worldwide. The objective of this study was... -
Copy number variation of TdDof controls solid-stemmed architecture in wheat
Stem solidness is an important agronomic trait of durum (Triticum turgidumL. var.durum) and bread (Triticum aestivumL.) wheat that provides resistance to the wheat stem sawfly.... -
Banishing barberry: The history of Berberis vulgaris prevalence and wheat ste...
Wheat stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a notoriously damaging disease of wheat and barley. Pgt requires two hosts to complete its... -
Extensive Genetic Variation at the Sr22 Wheat Stem Rust Resistance Gene Locus...
In the last 20 years, severe wheat stem rust outbreaks have been recorded in Africa, Europe, and Central Asia. This previously well controlled disease, caused by the fungus... -
Conserved residues in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) NAM-A1 NAC domain are req...
NAC transcription factors contain five highly conserved subdomains which are required for protein dimerisation and DNA binding. Few residues within these subdomains have been... -
Yield reduction historically associated with the Aegilops ventricosa 7DV intr...
Wheat wild relatives represent an important source of genetic variation, but introgression of agronomically relevant genes, such as for disease resistance, may lead to the... -
Exome sequencing of bulked segregants identified a novel TaMKK3-A allele link...
Abstract Key message Using bulked segregant analysis of exome sequence, we fine-mapped the ABA-hypersensitive mutant ERA8 in a wheat backcross population to the TaMKK3-A locus... -
Dmc1 is a candidate for temperature tolerance during wheat meiosis
We initially assessed the effects of low temperature on meiotic chromosome synapsis and crossover formation in the hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety ‘Chinese... -
Multiple wheat genomes reveal global variation in modern breeding
Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is... -
Enabling reusability of plant phenomic datasets with MIAPPE 1.1
Enabling data reuse and knowledge discovery is increasingly critical in modern science, and requires an effort towards standardising data publication practices. This is... -
Banishing barberry: The history of Berberis vulgaris prevalence and wheat ste...
Wheat stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a notoriously damaging disease of wheat and barley. Pgt requires two hosts to complete its... -
Expecting the unexpected: factors influencing the emergence of fungal and oom...
In recent years, the number of emergent plant pathogens (EPPs) has grown substantially, threatening agroecosystem stability and native biodiversity. Contributing factors... -
The identification of new candidate genes Triticum aestivum FLOWERING LOCUS T...
Perception of photoperiod changes enables plants to flower under optimum conditions for survival. We used doubled haploid populations of crosses among Avalon × Cadenza, Charger... -
Validation and characterisation of a wheat GENIE3 network using an independen...
Gene regulatory networks are powerful tools which facilitate hypothesis generation and candidate gene discovery. However, the extent to which the network predictions are... -
Global transcriptome analysis uncovers the gene co-expression regulation netw...
Wheat grain development is a robust biological process that largely determines grain quality and yield. In this study, we investigated the grain transcriptome of winter wheat... -
A roadmap for gene functional characterisation in wheat
Research in Arabidopsis and other model species has uncovered mechanisms regulating important biological processes in plants. With the advent of high quality functional genomic...
