INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is among the world's earliest domesticated and most important
crop plants. It is diploid with a large haploid genome of 5.1 gigabases (Gb). Here we present …
