The domestication of wild emmer wheat led to the selection of modern durum wheat, grown
mainly for pasta production. We describe the 10.45 gigabase (Gb) assembly of the genome …

Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important
crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is largely …

Genetic diversity is key to crop improvement. Owing to pervasive genomic structural variation,
a single reference genome assembly cannot capture the full complement of sequence …

While imidazolinone herbicides are an attractive alternative for weed control, spring wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) is susceptible to most of these herbicides. Three mutant alleles …

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is an exceptionally climate-resilient cereal crop, used extensively to
produce improved wheat varieties via introgressive hybridization and possessing the entire …

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 …

Human population growth has increased the demand for food crops, animal feed, biofuel
and biomaterials, all the while climate change is impacting environmental growth conditions. …

Wheat (Triticum spp.) is one of the founder crops that likely drove the Neolithic transition to
sedentary agrarian societies in the Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. Identifying …

Sequence assembly of large and repeat-rich plant genomes has been challenging, requiring
substantial computational resources and often several complementary sequence assembly …

According to the UN-FAO, agricultural production must increase by 50% by 2050 to meet
global demand for food. This goal can be accomplished, in part, by the development of …
