Distribution and Nucleotide Diversity of Yr15 in Wild Emmer Populations and Chinese Wheat Germplasm [PDF]
Pathogens, 2020 Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a devastating fungal disease of wheat. The wild emmer gene, Yr15 (Wtk1), which confers a strong broad-spectrum resistance to Pst isolates, is composed of kinase and pseudokinase domains.

Large-scale structural variations induced by transposable elements promote population-specific divergence in Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Large-scale structural variations (SVs) are significant drivers of genome evolution and crop adaptation, yet they remain poorly explored in wheat due to the complexity of its large, allopolyploid genome. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp.

Molecular evolution of dimeric α-amylase inhibitor genes in wild emmer wheat and its ecological association [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 Background α-Amylase inhibitors are attractive candidates for the control of seed weevils, as these insects are highly dependent on starch as an energy source.

Reticulated origin of domesticated emmer wheat supports a dynamic model for the emergence of agriculture in the fertile crescent. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We used supernetworks with datasets of nuclear gene sequences and novel markers detecting retrotransposon insertions in ribosomal DNA loci to reassess the evolutionary relationships among tetraploid wheats.

The dead, hardened floral bracts of dispersal units of wild wheat function as storage for active hydrolases and in enhancing seedling vigor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 It is commonly assumed that the dead, hardened floral bracts of the dispersal unit of grasses have been evolved to protect seeds from predation and / or assist in fruit/caryopsis dispersal. While these structures have important agronomical and economical

Identification of Durum Wheat Cultivars and Their Tetraploid Relatives with Low Cadmium Content
Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2020 In this study, 71 durum wheat cultivars (Triticum durum Desf.), 22 emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum L.) and 11 wild emmer (Triticum dicoccoides L.) genotypes were genetically characterized to determine the alleles associated with high cadmium (Cd) content.
