Multiple wheat genomes reveal global variation in modern breeding.

Sean Walkowiak, +103 more
- 25 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: Comparative analysis of multiple genome assemblies from wheat reveals extensive diversity that results from the complex breeding history of wheat and provides a basis for further potential improvements to this important food crop.
Journal ArticleDOI

A large-scale pedigree resource of wheat reveals evidence for adaptation and selection by breeders.

TL;DR: A pedigree resource of 2,657 wheat genotypes originating from 38 countries, representing more than a century of breeding and variety development is presented, highlighting the benefits of generating detailed pedigree resources for crop species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Limited haplotype diversity underlies polygenic trait architecture across 70 years of wheat breeding

TL;DR: In this paper, the MAGIC population was used to assess the genomic basis of historical phenotypic changes, and the potential for future improvement, using experimental populations that attempt to undo selection through the randomizing effects of recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of breeding history and crop management on the root architecture of wheat

TL;DR: The hypothesis that past wheat breeding has led to changes in RSA is examined and that future breeding efforts can focus directly on RSA to improve adaptation to target environments is examined.
