King, J., Grewal, S., Yang, C., Hubbart, S., Scholefield, D., Ashling, S., …King, I. P. (2017). A step change in the transfer of interspecific variation into wheat from Amblyopyrum muticum. Plant Biotechnology Journal, 15(2), 217-226. https://doi.org/10.1111/pbi.12606

Despite some notable successes, only a fraction of the genetic variation available in wild relatives has been utilized to produce superior wheat varieties. This is as a direct result of the lack of availability of suitable high-throughput technologie...

The precocious germination of cereal grains before harvest, also known as pre-harvest sprouting, is an important source of yield and quality loss in cereal production. Pre-harvest sprouting is a complex grain defect and is becoming an increasing chal...
