To support its variety development program, USask's Crop Development Center (CDC) has been diving back into the gene pool of wheat and screening its wild relatives for useful traits that can be ...

"We also found that genetic diversity within the often-criticised modern wheat gene pool is rich enough to generate a further 23 per cent increase in yields." Dr Voss-Fels said the findings might ...

Two gene pairs from wild emmer wheat, governing resistance to powdery mildew (MlIW170/Pm26: TdCNL1 and TdCNL5) and stripe rust (YrTD121: TdNLR1 and TdNLR2), were identified as essential for ...

In the quest to separate the good traits from the bad, bioinformatics (computational biology) research at the Earlham Institute (EI), using a data driven strategy in wheat, find the first ever ...

In a research discovery that has practical implications for improving wheat varieties, a team of scientists at the University of California, Davis, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have cloned a ...

A team of researchers at the University of California, Davis, has pieced together a clearer picture of how wheat has been able to adapt to such a wide range of climates and become one of the world's ...

Thomas Wicker and colleagues report the whole-genome sequencing of four wheat powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis forma specialis tritici) isolates from different geographic regions. Their ...
