TL;DR: This annotated reference sequence of wheat is a resource that can now drive disruptive innovation in wheat improvement, as this community resource establishes the foundation for accelerating wheat research and application through improved understanding of wheat biology and genomics-assisted breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
A NAC Gene Regulating Senescence Improves Grain Protein, Zinc, and Iron Content in Wheat
TL;DR: The positional cloning of Gpc-B1, a wheat quantitative trait locus associated with increased grain protein, zinc, and iron content, is reported here, and reduction in RNA levels of the multiple NAM homologs by RNA interference delayed senescence by more than 3 weeks and reduced wheat grain protein and zinc content.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A 10.1-gigabase assembly of the 14 chromosomes of wild tetraploid wheat, as well as analyses of gene content, genome architecture, and genetic diversity reveal genomic regions bearing the signature of selection under domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI
A kinase-START gene confers temperature-dependent resistance to wheat stripe rust
Daolin Fu,Cristobal Uauy,Assaf Distelfeld,Ann E. Blechl,Lynn Epstein,Xianming Chen,Hanan Sela,Tzion Fahima,Jorge Dubcovsky +8 more
TL;DR: The map-based cloning of the gene Yr36 (WKS1), which confers resistance to a broad spectrum of stripe rust races at relatively high temperatures, is reported, which includes a kinase and a putative START lipid-binding domain.
