Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Sources of Stripe Rust Resistance Identified by Genome-Wide Association Mapping in Ethiopian Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum).
Weizhen Liu,Marco Maccaferri,Sheri Rynearson,Tesfaye Letta,Habtemariam Zegeye,Roberto Tuberosa,Xianming Chen,Xianming Chen,Michael O. Pumphrey +8 more
TL;DR: This study reports effective sources of resistance to contemporary races in Ethiopia and the United States and reveals that Ethiopian durum wheat landraces are abundant in novel Pst resistance loci that may be transferred into adapted cultivars to provide resistance against Pst.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association mapping reveals a rich genetic architecture of stripe rust resistance loci in emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum)
Weizhen Liu,Marco Maccaferri,Xianming Chen,Xianming Chen,Gaetano Laghetti,Domenico Pignone,Michael O. Pumphrey,Roberto Tuberosa +7 more
TL;DR: SNP-based genome scanning in worldwide domesticated emmer germplasm showed high genetic diversity, rapid linkage disequilibrium decay and 51 loci for stripe rust resistance, a large proportion of which were novel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosome-scale genome assembly of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cv. Tieton obtained using long-read and Hi-C sequencing
Jiawei Wang,Weizhen Liu,Zhu Dongzi,Hong Po,Shizhong Zhang,Shijun Xiao,Tan Yue,Chen Xin,Xu Li,Zong Xiaojuan,Lisi Zhang,Hairong Wei,Yuan Xiaohui,Qingzhong Liu +13 more
TL;DR: The chromosome-scale assembly ofsweet cherry revealed that gene duplication events contributed to the expansion of gene families for salicylic acid/jasmonic acid carboxyl methyltransferase and ankyrin repeat-containing proteins in the genome of sweet cherry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association mapping for seedling and field resistance to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici in elite durum wheat
Weizhen Liu,Marco Maccaferri,Peter Bulli,Sheri Rynearson,Roberto Tuberosa,Xianming Chen,Xianming Chen,Michael O. Pumphrey +7 more
TL;DR: This GWAS study is the first of its kind for stripe rust resistance in tetraploid wheat and provides an overview of resistance in elite germplasm and reports new loci that can be used in breeding resistant cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Throughput Phenotyping of Morphological Seed and Fruit Characteristics Using X-Ray Computed Tomography.
TL;DR: The methods provide robust and novel tools for phenotyping the morphological seed and fruit traits of various plant species, which could benefit crop breeding and functional genomics.
