Distinct Life Histories Impact Dikaryotic Genome Evolution in the Rust Fungus...
Abstract Stripe rust of wheat, caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, is a major threat to wheat production worldwide with an estimated... -
A framework for gene mapping in wheat demonstrated using the Yr7 yellow rust ...
We used three approaches to map the yellow rust resistance gene Yr7 and identify associated SNPs in wheat. First, we used a traditional QTL mapping approach using a double... -
Uncovering candidate genes involved in photosynthetic capacity using unexplor...
To feed an ever-increasing population we must leverage advances in genomics and phenotyping to harness the variation in wheat breeding populations for traits like photosynthetic... -
Wheat chromatin architecture is organized in genome territories and transcrip...
Polyploidy is ubiquitous in eukaryotic plant and fungal lineages, and it leads to the co-existence of several copies of similar or related genomes in one nucleus. In plants,... -
Convergent Loss of an EDS1/PAD4 Signaling Pathway in Several Plant Lineages R...
Plant innate immunity relies on nucleotide binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) that recognize pathogen-derived molecules and activate downstream signaling pathways. We... -
Meiosis and beyond – understanding the mechanistic and evolutionary processes...
The separation of germ cell populations from the soma is part of the evolutionary transition to multicellularity. Only genetic information present in the germ cells will be... -
Colombia's cyberinfrastructure for biodiversity: Building data infrastructure...
Colombia is a “megadiverse” country with vast natural resources. A history of recent conflict means that information is only now being collected on the natural capital of... -
A Sequence Distance Graph framework for genome assembly and analysis
The Sequence Distance Graph (SDG) framework works with genome assembly graphs and raw data from paired, linked and long reads. It includes a simple deBruijn graph module, and... -
An Exploration of Deep-Learning Based Phenotypic Analysis to Detect Spike Reg...
Wheat is one of the major crops in the world, with a global demand expected to reach 850 million tons by 2050 that is clearly outpacing current supply. The continual pressure to... -
Hidden variation in polyploid wheat drives local adaptation
Wheat has been domesticated into a large number of agricultural environments and has the ability to adapt to diverse environments. To understand this process, we survey... -
Uncovering hidden variation in polyploid wheat
Comprehensive reverse genetic resources, which have been key to understanding gene function in diploid model organisms, are missing in many polyploid crops. Young polyploid... -
Next-Generation Sequencing Enabled Genetics in Hexaploid Wheat
Wheat is a major world food crop and its production needs to increase to meet future demand. However, having a large complex genome, the analysis of bread wheat is not without... -
A modified sequence capture approach allowing standard and methylation analys...
Bread wheat has a large complex genome that makes whole genome resequencing costly. Therefore, genome complexity reduction techniques such as sequence capture make re-sequencing... -
AirSurf-Lettuce: an aerial image analysis platform for ultra-scale field phen...
Aerial imagery is regularly used by farmers and growers to monitor crops during the growing season. To extract meaningful phenotypic information from large-scale aerial images... -
Integrating genomic resources to present full gene and promoter capture probe...
Background: Whole genome shotgun re-sequencing of wheat is expensive because of its large, repetitive genome. Moreover, sequence data can fail to map uniquely to the reference... -
CropSight: a scalable and open-source information management system for distr...
High-quality plant phenotyping and climate data lay the foundation for phenotypic analysis and genotype-environment interaction, providing important evidence not only for plant... -
CropQuant: An automated and scalable field phenotyping platform for crop moni...
Automated phenotyping technologies are capable of providing continuous and precise measurements of traits that are key to today’s crop research, breeding and agronomic... -
CropSurveyor: a scalable open-source experiment management system for distrib...
Background:High-quality plant phenotyping and climate data lay the foundation of phenotypic analysis as well as genotype-by-environment interactions, which is important...
