Novel sources of variation in grain yield, components and mineral traits identified in wheat amphidiploids derived from thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & rayss) Á. löve (poaceae) under saline soils in India (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Salt-affected soils constrain wheat production globally. A wild wheat species, Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & Rayss) Á. Löve (Poaceae), and its derivatives are tolerant of high external NaC...

Variation in key leaf photosynthetic traits across wheat wild relatives is accession dependent not species dependent (2020)
Journal Article

©2020 The Authors. New Phytologist ©2020 New Phytologist Trust The wild relatives of modern wheat represent an underutilized source of genetic and phenotypic diversity and are of interest in breeding owing to their wide adaptation to diverse environm...

Exploiting the genome of Thinopyrum elongatum to expand the gene pool of hexaploid wheat (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Key message: One hundred and thirty four introgressions from Thinopyrum elongatum have been transferred into a wheat background and were characterised using 263 SNP markers. Abstract: Species within the genus Thinopyrum have be... Read More about Exploiting the genome of Thinopyrum elongatum to expand the gene pool of hexaploid wheat.

Novel sources of variation in grain Zinc (Zn) concentration in bread wheat germplasm derived from Watkins landraces (2020)
Journal Article

A diverse panel of 245 wheat genotypes, derived from crosses between landraces from the Watkins collection representing global diversity in the early 20th century and the modern wheat cultivar Paragon, was grown at two field sites in the UK in 2015-1...

Resistance to wheat rusts identified in wheat/Amblyopyrum muticum chromosome introgressions (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Authors. Crop Science © 2020 Crop Science Society of America Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) rusts are a worldwide production problem. Plant breeders have used genetic resistance to combat these fungi. However, single-gene resistance is rapid...
