Journal Article
Othmeni, M., Grewal, S., Walker, J., Yang, C., King, I. P., & King, J. (2022). Assessing the potential of using the Langdon 5D(5B) substitution line for the introgression of Aegilops tauschii into durum wheat. Frontiers in Plant Science, 13, Article 927728. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2022.927728

Aegilops tauschii, the D-genome donor of hexaploid wheat, provides a source of genetic variation that could be used for tetraploid (durum) wheat improvement. In addition to the genes for wheat quality on the D-genome, which differentiate between brea...

Identification of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Triticum timopheevii Accessions and Characterization of Wheat-T. timopheevii Introgression Lines for Enhanced Resistance. Frontiers in Plant Science, 13, Article 943211. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2022.943211

A diverse panel of wheat wild relative species was screened for resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) by spray inoculation. The great majority of species and accessions were susceptible or highly susceptible to FHB. Accessions of Triticum timophee...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 13, Article 919519. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2022.919519

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.

Chromosome-specific KASP markers for detecting Amblyopyrum muticum segments in wheat introgression lines (2022)
