High-density SNP genotyping array for hexaploid wheat and its secondary and tertiary gene pool (2015)
Journal Article
Winfield, M. O., King, I., Allen, A. M., Burridge, A. J., Barker, G. L. A., Benbow, H. R., …Edwards, K. J. (2016). High-density SNP genotyping array for hexaploid wheat and its secondary and tertiary gene pool. Plant Biotechnology Journal, 14(5), 1195-1206. https://doi.org/10.1111/pbi.12485

In wheat, a lack of genetic diversity between breeding lines has been recognized as a significant block to future yield increases. Species belonging to bread wheat's secondary and tertiary gene pools harbour a much greater level of genetic variabilit...

Generation of amphidiploids from hybrids of wheat and related species from the genera Aegilops, Secale, Thinopyrum and Triticum as a source of genetic variation for wheat improvement (2015)
Journal Article
Nemeth, C., Yang, C., Kasprzak, P., Hubbart, S., Scholefield, D., Mehra, S., …King, J. (2015). Generation of amphidiploids from hybrids of wheat and related species from the genera Aegilops, Secale, Thinopyrum and Triticum as a source of genetic variation for wheat improvement. Genome, 58(2), 71-79. https://doi.org/10.1139/gen-2015-0002

We aim to improve diversity of domesticated wheat by transferring genetic variation for important target traits from related wild and cultivated grass species. The present study describes the development of F1 hybrids between wheat and related specie...

Mapping the ‘breaker’ element of the gametocidal locus proximal to a block of sub-telomeric heterochromatin on the long arm of chromosome 4Ssh of Aegilops sharonensis (2015)
Journal Article
Knight, E., Binnie, A., Draeger, T., Moscou, M., Rey, M., Sucher, J., …Moore, G. (2015). Mapping the ‘breaker’ element of the gametocidal locus proximal to a block of sub-telomeric heterochromatin on the long arm of chromosome 4Ssh of Aegilops sharonensis. TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 128(6), 1049-1059. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00122-015-2489-x

The production of alien chromosome addition lines allows the transfer of useful genetic variation into elite wheat varieties from related wild species. However, some wild relatives of wheat, particularly those within the Sitopsis section of the genus...
