Manipulation of the brown glume and internode 1 gene leads to alterations in lignified tissue coloration, lignification, and pathogen resistance in wheat

This study identifies and characterizes the BGI1 gene in wheat, showing its role in lignin biosynthesis and pathogen resistance through loss-of-function and overexpression experiments.

Chromosome-scale assembly and annotation of the wildwheat relative Aegilops comosa

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of Aegilops comosa using PacBio and Hi-C data, annotates 39,063 genes, and identifies a terminal intrachromosomal translocation in chromosome 2M.

Wheat TaNADPO promotes spot blotch resistance

This study identifies TaNADPO as a key gene for wheat resistance to Bipolaris sorokiniana through GWAS, RNA sequencing, and transgenic experiments.

A near-complete genome sequence of einkorn wheat provides insight into the evolution of wheat A subgenomes

This paper presents a near-complete genome sequence of einkorn wheat, revealing insights into its evolutionary history and adaptive gene expansions.

Genetics of resistance to common root rot (spot blotch), Fusarium crown rot, and sharp eyespot in wheat

This paper reviews genetic studies on wheat resistance to common root rot, Fusarium crown rot, and sharp eyespot, highlighting resistant germplasm and genetic loci involved.
