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...

Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat (2015)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J. A., Wingen, L. U., Griffiths, M., Pound, M. P., Gaju, O., Foulkes, M. J., …Wells, D. M. (2015). Phenotyping pipeline reveals major seedling root growth QTL in hexaploid wheat. Journal of Experimental Botany, 66(8), 2283-2292. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erv006

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.
