Improved Genome Sequence of Wild Emmer Wheat Zavitan with the Aid of Optical Maps [PDF]

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Wild emmer (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) is the progenitor of all modern cultivated tetraploid wheat. Its genome is large (> 10 Gb) and contains over 80% repeated sequences. The successful whole-genome-shotgun assembly of the wild emmer (accession

Sympatric speciation of wild emmer wheat driven by ecology and chromosomal rearrangements [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
In plants, the mechanism for ecological sympatric speciation (SS) is little known. Here, after ruling out the possibility of secondary contact, we show that wild emmer wheat, at the microclimatically divergent microsite of “Evolution Canyon” (EC), Mt. Carmel, Israel, underwent triple SS.

Durum Wheat cv. Svevo Reference Genome Rel.2.0: A Comprehensive Tool for Wheat Genomics. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Advancements in plant genome sequencing and assembly have enabled the production of increasingly accurate and contiguous genome sequences. Here, we present the chromosome‐level assembly of the durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum, cv. Svevo) reference genome produced using accurate long‐reads, optical mapping and Hi‐C. The new assembly

A membrane associated tandem kinase from wild emmer wheat confers broad-spectrum resistance to powdery mildew [PDF]

Nature Communications
Crop wild relatives offer natural variations of disease resistance for crop improvement. Here, we report the isolation of broad-spectrum powdery mildew resistance gene Pm36, originated from wild emmer wheat, that encodes a tandem kinase with a ...

Identification and characterization of a novel powdery mildew resistance gene PmCWI45575 in wild emmer wheat [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), poses a persistent threat to global wheat production, and many widely deployed Pm genes have been overcome by new virulent races.

Characterizing Agronomic and Shoot Morphological Diversity across 263 Wild Emmer Wheat Accessions

Agriculture (Switzerland), 2023
Wild emmer, the direct progenitor of modern durum and bread wheat, has mostly been studied for grain quality, biotic, and abiotic stress-related traits. Accordingly, it should also have a certain amount of diversity for morphological and agronomic traits.

Large-scale structural variations induced by transposable elements promote population-specific divergence in Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background 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.
