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...
