TL;DR: The assembly of the genome of durum wheat cultivar Svevo enables genome-wide genetic diversity analyses highlighting modifications imposed by thousands of years of empirical selection and breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural variation in a homolog of Antirrhinum CENTRORADIALIS contributed to spring growth habit and environmental adaptation in cultivated barley
Jordi Comadran,Benjamin Kilian,Joanne Russell,Luke Ramsay,Nils Stein,Martin W. Ganal,Paul Shaw,Micha Bayer,William T. B. Thomas,David Marshall,Pete E. Hedley,Alessandro Tondelli,Nicola Pecchioni,Enrico Francia,Viktor Korzun,Alexander Walther,Robbie Waugh +16 more
TL;DR: The distribution of HvCEN alleles in a large collection of wild and landrace accessions indicates that this involved selection and enrichment of preexisting genetic variants rather than the acquisition of mutations after domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association studies for agronomical traits in a world wide spring barley collection.
Raj K. Pasam,Rajiv Sharma,Marcos Malosetti,Fred A. van Eeuwijk,Grit Haseneyer,Grit Haseneyer,Benjamin Kilian,Andreas Graner +7 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the described diverse barley panel can be efficiently used for GWAS of various quantitative traits, provided that population structure is appropriately taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Past and Future Use of Wild Relatives in Crop Breeding
Hannes Dempewolf,Gregory J. Baute,Justin E. Anderson,Benjamin Kilian,Chelsea Smith,Luigi Guarino +5 more
TL;DR: The role that CWR play in modern crop breeding is documented, including their past and current use, advanced breeding methods and technologies that promise to facilitate the continued use, and what constraints continue to hinder increased use of CWR in breeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissecting the Phenotypic Components of Crop Plant Growth and Drought Responses Based on High-Throughput Image Analysis
Dijun Chen,Dijun Chen,Kerstin Neumann,Swetlana Friedel,Benjamin Kilian,Ming Chen,Thomas Altmann,Christian Klukas +7 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive framework for high-throughput phenotype data analysis in plants is developed, which enables the extraction of an extensive list of phenotypic traits from nondestructive plant imaging over time and is promising for subsequent genetic mapping to uncover the genetic basis of complex agronomic traits.
