Evolutionary dynamics of the Timopheevii wheat lineage

The paper presents genomic resources for the Timopheevii wheat lineage, revealing evolutionary dynamics including homoeologous exchange, genome instability, and geographic range expansion.

Host specificity in cereal rust fungi is mediated by a conserved glycoside hydrolase family

The paper identifies a conserved glycoside hydrolase family in leaf rust fungi that interacts with barley LecRKs to mediate non-host resistance, showing functional conservation across cereal species.

Origin and evolution of the bread wheat D genome

The paper analyzes the genetic composition and history of the bread wheat D genome using a pangenome of its donor species, revealing contributions from discrete subpopulations of Aegilops tauschii.

Chromosome-scale pearl millet genomes reveal a CARLACTONOIC ACID METHYL TRANSFERASE as key determinant of strigolactone pattern and Striga susceptibility

The paper identifies a CLAMT1 gene responsible for strigolactone production and Striga susceptibility in pearl millet by comparing genome assemblies of susceptible and resistant lines.

Genome assembly of a diversity panel of Chenopodium quinoa

The paper reports chromosome-scale genome assemblies of eight quinoa accessions, identifying structural variations and providing resources for genetic studies.

Optical and physical mapping with local finishing enables megabase-scale resolution of agronomically important regions in the wheat genome
