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.

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.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that speed breeding in fully enclosed, controlled-environment growth chambers can accelerate plant development for research purposes, including phenotyping of adult plant traits, mutant studies and transformation.

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.

TL;DR: This study leverages 850 wheat RNA-sequencing samples, alongside the annotated genome, to determine the similarities and differences between homoeolog expression across a range of tissues, developmental stages, and cultivars and suggests that the transposable elements in promoters relate more closely to the variation in the relative expression of homoeologicals across tissues than to a ubiquitous effect across all tissues.
