Development of mlo-based resistance in tetraploid wheat against wheat powdery...
Powdery mildew is a severe disease in wheat. In barley, durable resistance exists, based on non-functionality of the Mlo gene. As a model to analyse the effects of mutagenesis... -
Physiological determinants of fertile floret survival in wheat as affected by...
Variations in wheat yield are largely explained by changes in grain number per m2 which is linked to the number of fertile florets at anthesis. This, in turn is the outcome of... -
Plant Genomics: Unlocking the Genome of Wheat’s Progenitor
The genome sequence and analysis of wheat’s progenitor provides a roadmap to enhance genomics-assisted breeding and improvement of modern wheat varieties. -
Earliness per se effects on developmental traits in hexaploid wheat grown und...
Earliness per se (Eps) genes are critical for fine-tuning flowering time and likely to modify other developmental traits as well. Effects of Eps alleles on components comprising... -
BED-domain-containing immune receptors confer diverse resistance spectra to y...
Crop diseases reduce wheat yields by ~25% globally and thus pose a major threat to global food security1. Genetic resistance can reduce crop losses in the field and can be... -
Fine mapping of Aegilops peregrina co-segregating leaf and stripe rust resist...
Aegilops peregrina, a wild tetraploid relative of wheat with genome constitution UUSS, displays genetic variation for resistance to leaf and stripe (yellow) rust. The wheat Ae....
