Genome-wide analyses of miniature inverted-repeat transposable elements reveals new insights into the evolution of the Triticum-Aegilops group. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The sequence drafts of wild emmer and bread wheat facilitated high resolution, genome-wide analysis of transposable elements (TEs), which account for up to 90% of the wheat genome. Despite extensive studies, the role of TEs in reshaping nascent polyploid

New insights into the evolution of wheat avenin-like proteins in wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides). [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Fifteen full-length wheat grain avenin-like protein coding genes ( TaALP ) were identified on chromosome arms 7AS, 4AL, and 7DS of bread wheat with each containing five genes. Besides the a- and b-type ALPs, a c type was identified in the current paper.

Wild emmer genome architecture and diversity elucidate wheat evolution and domestication
Science, 2017 Genomics and domestication of wheat Modern wheat, which underlies the diet of many across the globe, has a long history of selection and crosses among different species. Avni et al. used the Hi-C method of genome confirmation capture to assemble and annotate the wild ...

Evolutionary history of the NAM-B1 gene in wild and domesticated tetraploid wheat
BMC Genetics, 2017 Background The NAM-B1 gene in wheat has for almost three decades been extensively studied and utilized in breeding programs because of its significant impact on grain protein and mineral content and pleiotropic effects on senescence rate and grain size ...

Metabolome dynamics during wheat domestication
Scientific Reports, 2022 One of the most important crops worldwide is wheat. Wheat domestication took place about 10,000 years ago. Not only that its wild progenitors have been discovered and phenotypically characterized, but their genomes were also sequenced and compared to ...

Genetic diversity and environmental associations of wild emmer wheat, in Turkey [PDF]
Heredity, 1988 Genetic diversity within and between Turkish populations of the wild progenitor of wheats, tetraploid wild emmer wheat, Triticum turgidum var. dicoccoides, was studied electrophoretically. Forty-eight enzyme loci were assayed in 157 individual plants representing four populations of T. t.
