Transcription factor retention through multiple polyploidisation steps in wheat
SummaryWhole genome duplication (WGD) is widespread in plant evolutionary history, but the mechanisms of non-random gene loss after WGD are debated. The gene balance hypothesis... -
Trend, Population Structure and Trait Mapping from 15 Years of National Varie...
ABSTRACTThere are now a rich variety of genomic and genotypic resources available to wheat researchers and breeders. However, the generation of high-quality and field-relevant... -
Increased and ectopic expression of Triticum polonicum VRT-A2 underlies elong...
Flower development is a major determinant of yield in crops. In wheat, natural variation for the size of spikelet and floral organs is particularly evident in Triticum... -
Genotypic differences in wheat yield determinants within a NAM population bas...
Future grain yield (GY) improvements require the identification of beneficial traits within the context of high yield potential and not just based on the pleiotropic effect of... -
Breeding crops to feed 10 billion
Crop improvements can help us to meet the challenge of feeding a population of 10 billion, but can we breed better varieties fast enough? Technologies such as genotyping,... -

Breeding a fungal gene into wheat
Every year, infection of wheat by the fungus Fusarium graminearum results in losses of ∼28 million metric tons of wheat grain, valued at $5.6 billion. The fungus reduces yields... -
The transcriptional landscape of polyploid wheat
The coordinated expression of highly related homoeologous genes in polyploid species underlies the phenotypes of many of the world’s major crops. Here we combine extensive gene... -
Speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding
The growing human population and a changing environment have raised significant concern for global food security, with the current improvement rate of several important crops... -
Developmental responses of bread wheat to changes in ambient temperature foll...
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is a central integrator of environmental signals that regulates the timing of vegetative to reproductive transition in flowering plants. In model plants,... -
