Whole-genome resequencing of the wheat A subgenome progenitor Triticum urartu provides insights into its demographic history and geographic adaptation [PDF]
Triticum urartu is the progenitor of the A subgenome in tetraploid and hexaploid wheat. Uncovering the landscape of genetic variations in T. urartu will help us understand the evolutionary and polyploid characteristics of wheat. Here, we investigated the

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

Genetic diversity, population structure and marker-trait associations for agronomic and grain traits in wild diploid wheat Triticum urartu [PDF]
Background Wild diploid wheat, Triticum urartu (T. urartu) is the progenitor of bread wheat, and understanding its genetic diversity and genome function will provide considerable reference for dissecting genomic information of common wheat.

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 ...

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
