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 develops a wheat haplotype graph database for efficient genotype storage and imputation, showing improved accuracy over existing methods.

The paper develops regularized selection indices to improve breeding value prediction using hyper-spectral image data, showing higher accuracy for grain yield than traditional methods.

This paper clones four stem rust resistance genes in wild diploid wheat using association genetics and R gene enrichment sequencing within six months.
