Wild emmer wheat, the ancestor of modern bread wheat, has accumulated rich genetic variation through long-term adaptation to complex environments. However, the MlIW170/Pm26 and YrTD121 loci from wild ...

Researchers discovered the gene that gives a rare wheat variety its unusual “triple-grain” trait. When switched on, the gene helps wheat flowers produce extra grain-bearing parts. The finding could ...

A study has discovered molecular pathways regulated by a gene traditionally used to control wheat-flowering behavior could be altered to achieve greater yields. A study from the University of Adelaide ...

Wheat is a globally vital food crop, yet its limited regeneration ability has long hampered genetic transformation and molecular breeding efforts. Plant regeneration—the ability to develop new organs ...

CANBERRA, May 23 (Reuters) - The groundwork for a major trial of gene-edited wheat has begun in Australia, where a state company is growing hundreds of varieties it says could be up to 10% more ...

A representative MOV-wheat spikelet (a) and spike (b) showing the effect of the Mov-1 locus on grain number. Regular bread wheat has one grain per spikelet. University of Maryland researchers ...
