This study identifies 87 QTLs for stripe rust resistance in 297 Watkins wheat landraces, including 10 known Yr genes and 46 novel loci.

The paper uses single plant-transcriptomics to analyze disease resistance in barley, identifying genetic variants associated with resistance to Fusarium graminearum.

The paper identifies the origin of the predominant North American Pst lineage, PstS18, as a somatic hybridization event between PstS1 and an unknown lineage.

The paper sequenced wild barley to identify genetic markers linked to agronomic traits and found novel loci for stem rust resistance and days to heading.

This study presents a barley pangenome revealing structural variation linked to traits like disease resistance and plant architecture, highlighting its role in adaptive evolution.

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.

The paper analyzes mating-type alleles in Canadian stripe rust populations to uncover recombination history and population structure, identifying novel alleles and foreign incursions.
