Shifting the limits in wheat research and breeding using a fully annotated reference genome

Rudi Appels, +207 more
- 17 Aug 2018 - 
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

Molecular diversity in French bread wheat accessions related to temporal trends and breeding programmes.

TL;DR: Considering a sub-sample of 193 varieties representative of breeding material selected during the twentieth century by the six most important plant breeding companies, few differences in diversity were observed between the different breeding programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variability and stability of grain magnesium, zinc and iron concentrations in bread wheat

TL;DR: Four trials were conducted to study the grain magnesium, zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) concentrations in bread wheat, finding high genotype effects and Spearman rank correlations indicated moderate genotype by environment (G x E) interactions, so breeding for high Mg concentration can reasonably be envisaged.
Journal ArticleDOI

An enhanced molecular marker based genetic map of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) reveals comparative relationships with other Poaceae genomes

TL;DR: A molecular-marker linkage map was constructed for perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L) using a one-way pseudo-testcross population based on the mating of a multiple heterozygous individual with a doubled haploid genotype as discussed by the authors.
