High-density SNP genotyping array for hexaploid wheat and its secondary and tertiary gene pool (2015)
Journal Article

In wheat, a lack of genetic diversity between breeding lines has been recognized as a significant block to future yield increases. Species belonging to bread wheat's secondary and tertiary gene pools harbour a much greater level of genetic variabilit...

Generation of amphidiploids from hybrids of wheat and related species from the genera Aegilops, Secale, Thinopyrum and Triticum as a source of genetic variation for wheat improvement (2015)
Journal Article

We aim to improve diversity of domesticated wheat by transferring genetic variation for important target traits from related wild and cultivated grass species. The present study describes the development of F1 hybrids between wheat and related specie...

Seedling root traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been shown to be important for efficient establishment and linked to mature plant traits such as height and yield. A root phenotyping pipeline, consisting of a germination paper-based screen c... Read More about Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat.
