FTIR spectra from grass pollen: A quest for species-level resolution of Poaceae and Cerealia-type pollen grains (2023)
Journal Article

Palynological analysis based on spore and pollen morphology is well established in the field of palaeo-environmental reconstruction but is currently not fully exploited for understanding the history and development of cereal cultivation due to diffic...

Introgression of the Triticum timopheevii Genome Into Wheat Detected by Chromosome-Specific Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR Markers (2022)
Journal Article

Triticum timopheevii (2n = 28, AtAtGG) is a tetraploid wild relative species with great potential to increase the genetic diversity of hexaploid wheat Triticum aestivum (2n = 42, AABBDD) for various important agronomic traits. A breeding scheme that... Read More about Introgression of the Triticum timopheevii Genome Into Wheat Detected by Chromosome-Specific Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR Markers.

Generation of Doubled Haploid Wheat-Triticum urartu Introgression Lines and Their Characterisation Using Chromosome-Specific KASP Markers (2021)
Journal Article

Wheat is one of the most important food and protein sources in the world and although, in recent years wheat breeders have achieved yield gains, they are not sufficient to meet the demands of an ever-growing population. Development of high yielding w... Read More about Generation of Doubled Haploid Wheat-Triticum urartu Introgression Lines and Their Characterisation Using Chromosome-Specific KASP Markers.

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...

Development of Wheat-Aegilops caudata Introgression Lines and Their Characterization Using Genome-Specific KASP Markers (2020)
Journal Article

© Copyright © 2020 Grewal, Othmeni, Walker, Hubbart-Edwards, Yang, Scholefield, Ashling, Isaac, King and King. Aegilops caudata L. [syn. Ae. markgrafii (Greuter) Hammer], is a diploid wild relative of wheat (2n = 2x = 14, CC) and a valuable source fo...

Rapid identification of homozygosity and site of wild relative introgressions in wheat through chromosome-specific KASP genotyping assays (2019)
Journal Article

For future food security, it is important that wheat, one of the most widely consumed crops in the world, can survive the threat of abiotic and biotic stresses. New genetic variation is currently being introduced into wheat through introgressions fro...

Development and validation of an exome-based SNP marker set for identification of the St, Jr and Jvs genomes of Thinopyrym intermedium in a wheat background (2019)
Journal Article

Thinopyrum intermedium (2n = 6x = 42, StJrJvs) is one of the most promising reservoirs of useful genes including tolerance to abiotic stresses, perenniality and disease resistance not available in the cultivated bread wheat. The transfer of genetic d...

Development of stable homozygous wheat/Amblyopyrum muticum (Aegilops mutica) introgression lines and their cytogenetic and molecular characterization (2019)
Journal Article

Wheat is one of the world’s most important sources of food. However, due to its evolution its genetic base has narrowed, which is severely limiting the ability of breeders to develop new higher yielding varieties that can adapt to the changing enviro...

Detection of T. urartu introgressions in wheat and development of a panel of interspecific introgression lines (2018)
Journal Article

Tritcum urartu (2n = 2x = 14, AuAu), the A genome donor of wheat, is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its high photosynthetic rate and disease resistance. By facilitating the generation of genome-wide introgr... Read More about Detection of T. urartu introgressions in wheat and development of a panel of interspecific introgression lines.

Introgression of Aegilops speltoides segements in Triticum aestivum and the effect of the gametocidal genes (2017)
Journal Article

• 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...
