Introgression of Aegilops speltoides segements in Triticum aestivum and the effect of the gametocidal genes (2017)
Journal Article
King, J., Grewal, S., Yang, C., Hubbart Edwards, S., Scholefield, D., Ashling, S., …King, I. P. (2018). Introgression of Aegilops speltoides segements in Triticum aestivum and the effect of the gametocidal genes. Annals of Botany, 121(12), https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcx149

• 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...

Characterisation of Thinopyrum bessarabicum chromosomes through genome-wide introgressions into wheat (2017)
Journal Article
Grewal, S., Yang, C., Hubbart Edwards, S., Scholefield, D., Ashling, S., Burridge, A., …King, J. (2018). Characterisation of Thinopyrum bessarabicum chromosomes through genome-wide introgressions into wheat. TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 131(2), 389–406. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00122-017-3009-y

Thinopyrum bessarabicum (2n = 2x = 14, JJ) is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its salinity tolerance and disease resistance. Its practical utilisation in wheat improvement can be facilitated through developm...

Comparative mapping and targeted-capture sequencing of the gametocidal loci in Aegilops sharonensis (2017)
Journal Article
Grewal, S., Gardiner, L., Ndreca, B., Knight, E., Moore, G., King, I. P., & King, J. (2017). Comparative mapping and targeted-capture sequencing of the gametocidal loci in Aegilops sharonensis. Plant Genome, The, 10(2), https://doi.org/10.3835/plantgenome2016.09.0090

Gametocidal (Gc) chromosomes or elements in species such as Aegilops sharonensis are preferentially transmitted to the next generation through both the male and female gametes when introduced into wheat. Furthermore, any genes, e.g. genes that contro... Read More about Comparative mapping and targeted-capture sequencing of the gametocidal loci in Aegilops sharonensis.

Wheat landrace genome diversity (2017)
Journal Article
Wingen, L. U., West, C., Leverington-Waite, M., Collier, S., Orford, S., Goram, R., …Griffiths, S. (2017). Wheat landrace genome diversity. Genetics, 205(4), https://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.116.194688

Understanding the genomic complexity of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a cornerstone in the quest to unravel the processes of domestication and the following adaptation of domesticated wheat to a wide variety of environments across the globe....
