Origin and adaptation to high altitude of Tibetan semi-wild wheat [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Mechanism of high altitude adaptation of wheat remains unknown. Here, the authors assemble the draft genome of a Tibetan semi-wild wheat accession and resequence 245 wheat accessions to reveal that Tibetan semi-wild wheat has been de-domesticated from ...

Grain Disarticulation in Wild Wheat and Barley. [PDF]
Plant Cell Physiol, 2022 Abstract Our industrial-scale crop monocultures, which are necessary to provide grain for large-scale food and feed production, are highly vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stresses. Crop wild relatives have adapted to harsh environmental conditions over millennia; thus, they are an important source of genetic variation and crop ...

Chromosome-based survey sequencing reveals the genome organization of wild wheat progenitor Triticum dicoccoides. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol J, 2018 Summary Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) is the progenitor of wheat. We performed chromosome‐based survey sequencing of the 14 chromosomes, examining repetitive sequences, protein‐coding genes, miRNA/target pairs and tRNA genes, as ...

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
