• Background and Aims Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been through a severe genetic bottleneck as a result of its evolution and domestication. It is therefore essential that new sources of genetic variation are generated and utilized. This study...

Characterisation of Thinopyrum bessarabicum chromosomes through genome-wide introgressions into wheat (2017)
Journal Article
Grewal, S., Yang, C., Hubbart Edwards, S., Scholefield, D., Ashling, S., Burridge, A., …King, J. (2018). Characterisation of Thinopyrum bessarabicum chromosomes through genome-wide introgressions into wheat. TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 131(2), 389–406. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00122-017-3009-y

Thinopyrum bessarabicum (2n = 2x = 14, JJ) is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its salinity tolerance and disease resistance. Its practical utilisation in wheat improvement can be facilitated through developm...

Transcription factor MYB26 is key to spatial specificity in anther secondary thickening formation (2017)
Journal Article
Yang, C., Song, J., Ferguson, A. C., Klisch, D., Simpson, K., Mo, R., …Wilson, Z. A. (2017). Transcription factor MYB26 is key to spatial specificity in anther secondary thickening formation. Plant Physiology, 175(1), https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.17.00719

Successful fertilization relies on the production and effective release of viable pollen. Failure of anther opening (dehiscence), results in male sterility, although the pollen may be fully functional. MYB26 regulates the formation of secondary thick...

Wheat landrace genome diversity (2017)
Journal Article
Wingen, L. U., West, C., Leverington-Waite, M., Collier, S., Orford, S., Goram, R., …Griffiths, S. (2017). Wheat landrace genome diversity. Genetics, 205(4), https://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.116.194688

Understanding the genomic complexity of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a cornerstone in the quest to unravel the processes of domestication and the following adaptation of domesticated wheat to a wide variety of environments across the globe....
