Wheat breeding approaches for designing wheat to thrive in a warmer world

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Wheat is a vital food crop, accounting for approximately 20% of daily calories and protein consumed worldwide. However, modern‐day wheat is under pressure from global change. The improvement rate of wheat yields is not keeping up with the demand of our growing population. Furthermore, abiotic and biotic stressors are becoming more prevalent. This paper

Mapping of prehaustorial resistance against wheat leaf rust in einkorn (Triticum monococcum), a progenitor of wheat

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Wheat leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) is one of the most significant fungal diseases of wheat, causing substantial yield losses worldwide. Infestation is currently being reduced by fungicide treatments and mostly vertical resistance.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Genetic diversity of the Turkish accessions of two progenitor species, Triticum baeoticum Boiss. and Triticum urartu Thum. ex Gandil., using DArTSeq markers

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution
The aim of this study was to reveal the intra and interspecies differences between Triticum baeoticum and Triticum urartu using Diversity Arrays Technology sequencing (DArTseq) on 94 accessions representing Turkish populations.

Identification, characterization and expression analysis of wheat RSH family genes under abiotic stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Guanosine pentaphosphate and guanosine tetraphosphate are collectively called (p)ppGpp (Guanosine tetraphosphate and pentaphosphate). (p)ppGpp content in plants is affected by conditions such as light, salt, pH, UV light, and environmental phytohormones.

Genome wide association study of agronomic and quality traits in a world collection of the wild wheat relative Triticum urartu.

The Plant Journal, 2019
Triticum urartu (2n = 2x = 14, subgenome Au Au ), a wild diploid wheat progenitor, features broad allelic diversity for a number of traits of agronomic relevance. A thorough characterization of the diversity of T.

Nucleotide diversity patterns at the DREB1 transcriptional factor gene in the genome donor species of wheat (Triticum aestivum L).

PLoS ONE, 2019
Bread wheat (AABBDD) originated from the diploid progenitor Triticum urartu (AA), a relative of Aegilops speltoides (BB), and Ae. tauschii (DD). The DREB1 transcriptional factor plays key regulatory role in low-temperature tolerance.

Ecological Assembly Processes of the Bacterial and Fungal Microbiota of Wild and Domesticated Wheat Species

Phytobiomes Journal, 2020
Domestication has led to substantial changes in plant physiology. How this anthropogenic intervention has contributed in altering the wheat microbiota is not well understood. Here, we investigated the role of ecological selection, drift, and dispersal in

Leveraging Knowledge of Traditional Italian Maize Landrace Diversity to Identify Signals of Local Adaptation

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is the greatest challenge to modern agriculture. It significantly impacts agricultural systems through an increased frequency and intensity of extreme environmental events. Maize, a vital crop for global food security, is particularly vulnerable to these changes, highlighting the urgent need to develop resilient varieties.
