Complete chloroplast genome of Triticum aestivum cultivar 'Keumkang' from Korea (Poaceae) and comparative chloroplast genomes of the members of the Triticum genus. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major global food crop, and understanding its maternal lineage and genetic diversity is essential for breeding, authentication, and evolutionary studies. Chloroplast genomes provide valuable markers for phylogenetic inference and cultivar discrimination; however, conventional plant DNA ...

Composition, variation, expression and evolution of low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit genes in Triticum urartu [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Wheat (AABBDD, 2n = 6x = 42) is a major dietary component for many populations across the world. Bread-making quality of wheat is mainly determined by glutenin subunits, but it remains challenging to elucidate the composition and variation of

Characterization of the polymorphism detected for the granule-bound starch synthase (WX gene) in wild einkorn wheat. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND The WX gene encodes the granule‐bound starch synthase I or waxy protein, which is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds. Wild einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides Link em. Thell.) could be an important source of variation for this gene. RESULTS This study assessed the WX gene variability

Phylogeny, chromosomal mapping and expression analyses of wheat CLAVATA pathway components suggest differential selection on receptor-like kinases, CLEs and T3 WOXes. [PDF]
SUMMARY Ensuring continuous global food security is a major challenge of the 21st century. Wheat contributes approximately 20% of the total calories consumed by humans, and an estimated 60% increase in production will be required by 2050 to meet forecast global demand. In cereals like wheat, inflorescence (ear) size and branching patterns determine the

Genomics in wheat improvement: Progress and perspectives [PDF]
Abstract Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) remains a major source of food and calories globally, yet its vast genome, polyploidy, and high number of repetitive sequences make genomic research challenging in this crop. In this review, we discuss the progress and future perspectives of genome research in wheat. Current efforts focus on the establishment of

Nucleoredoxin 1 in Wheat: Genomic Analysis and Demonstration of Its Role in Redox Homeostasis and Stress Resilience. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nucleoredoxin 1 (NRX1), a member of the redoxin superfamily, plays a critical role in maintaining redox homeostasis and enhancing stress tolerance in plants. We employed integrated in silico analyses and CRISPR‐Cas9‐based genome editing to functionally characterize NRX1 in Triticum aestivum (wheat) responding to salinity and infection by ...

Decoding the CBL gene family in durum wheat: Insights into dual ABA signaling pathways and calcium-mediated drought tolerance. [PDF]
Abstract Calcium signaling is an essential mechanism in plant responses to environmental stressors, facilitated by sensors like the calcineurin B‐like (CBL) protein family. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the CBL gene family in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp.
