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

A chromosome-based draft sequence of the hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) genome

Klaus F. X. Mayer, +95 more
- 18 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: Insight into the genome biology of a polyploid crop provide a springboard for faster gene isolation, rapid genetic marker development, and precise breeding to meet the needs of increasing food demand worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI

The complete nucleotide sequence and RNA editing content of the mitochondrial genome of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.): comparative analysis of the mitochondrial genomes of rapeseed and Arabidopsis thaliana

TL;DR: The results of the comparative analysis between the rapeseed and Arabidopsis mitochondrial genomes suggest that higher plant mitochondria are extremely conservative with respect to coding sequences and somewhat conservative withrespect to RNA editing, but that non-coding parts of plant mitochondrial DNA are extraordinarily dynamic with respectto structural changes, sequence acquisition and/or sequence loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Wheat Homolog of MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1 Acts in the Regulation of Germination

TL;DR: In this article, a wheat microarray was used to analyze gene expression in embryos from mature seeds grown at lower and higher temperatures, and it was found that a wheat homolog of MOTHER OF FT and TFL1 (MFT) was upregulated after physiological maturity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and Functional Characterization of PEBP Genes in Barley Reveal the Diversification of Their Roles in Flowering

TL;DR: Five barley PEBP genes were analyzed to clarify their functional roles in flowering using transgenic, expression, and quantitative trait locus analyses, suggesting that HvFT3 functions in flowering promotion but that its effect is indirect.
