The paper develops a genome-based proteogenomics workflow for wheat, reanalyzing proteomics data to refine gene models and provide a community resource for genome annotation.

This study identifies 34 TaNAS genes in bread wheat and shows overexpression of specific TaNAS genes increases grain Fe, Zn, and NA concentrations without affecting agronomic traits.

The paper identifies tandem duplications of SAD gene clusters as the cause of high ω-3 content in S. hispanica seeds, rather than whole-genome duplications.

The paper provides a high-resolution genomic assembly of the 1RS.1BL translocation in wheat, identifies key genes involved in grain yield and fertility, and defines targets for wheat improvement.
