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

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.

Genotyping Aegilops species, the wild relatives of wheat, has revealed high genetic diversity and unique evolutionary relationships among the Aegilops and with wheat, giving insight into the effective use of these germplasms for bread wheat improvement.

Genotyping of gene bank collections of diploid A-genome relatives of wheat uncovered relatively higher genetic diversity and unique evolutionary relationships which gives insight to the effective use of these germplasm for wheat improvement.
