Nature, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07808-z

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally dominant crop and major source of calories and proteins for the human diet. Compared with its wild ancestors, modern bread wheat shows lower genetic diversity, caused by polyploidisation, domestication an... Read More about Origin and evolution of the bread wheat D genome.

Micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs) particularly zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) remain widespread in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to low dietary intake. Wheat is an important source of energy globally, although cultivated wheat is inherently low in grain micr...

Chromosome-scale genome assembly of bread wheat’s wild relative Triticum timopheevii (2024)
Journal Article
Grewal, S., Yang, C., Scholefield, D., Ashling, S., Ghosh, S., Swarbreck, D., …King, J. (2024). Chromosome-scale genome assembly of bread wheat’s wild relative Triticum timopheevii. Scientific Data, 11(1), Article 420. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-024-03260-w

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most important food crops with an urgent need for increase in its production to feed the growing world. Triticum timopheevii (2n = 4x = 28) is an allotetraploid wheat wild relative species containing the At and...

Journal Article
Guwela, V. F., Broadley, M. R., Hawkesford, M. J., Maliro, M. F. A., Bokosi, J., Banda, M., …King, J. (2024). Unravelling the impact of soil types on zinc, iron, and selenium concentrations in grains and straw of wheat/Amblyopyrum muticum and wheat/Triticum urartu doubled haploid lines. Frontiers in Agronomy, 6, Article 1305034. https://doi.org/10.3389/fagro.2024.1305034

The concentration of mineral nutrients in plants is associated with bioavailabilities of soil mineral nutrients, which are regulated by various soil physio-chemical properties. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of soil type on...
