Pathogenic and genetic diversity of Sclerotium rolfsii, the causal agent of Southern blight of common bean in Uganda

This study characterizes the pathogenic and genetic diversity of Sclerotium rolfsii strains from Uganda, revealing five genetic groups and significant variation in morphology and pathogenicity.

Ecogeographic signals of local adaptation in a wild relative help to identify variants associated with improved wheat performance under drought stress

This study identifies climate-adaptive alleles from Aegilops tauschii that improve wheat performance under drought stress using genome-wide environmental scans and introgression lines.

Development of the Wheat Practical Haplotype Graph Database as a Resource for Genotyping Data Storage and Genotype Imputation

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

The haplotype-based analysis of Aegilops tauschii introgression into hard red winter wheat and its impact on productivity traits

This study evaluates the impact of Aegilops tauschii introgression on wheat yield traits, identifying beneficial haplotypes associated with increased grain production and stability.

Genomic patterns of introgression in interspecific populations created by crossing wheat with its wild relative

The paper examines introgression patterns from Aegilops tauschii into wheat cultivars, finding that introgression is influenced by recombination rates and selection pressures.
