Chromosomal rearrangements 1 and sequence similarity drivepreferential allosyndetic introgression from a wild relative into wheat

The paper shows that chromosomal rearrangements and sequence similarity drive preferential introgression of genes from a wild wheat relative into wheat via ph1b-mediated recombination.

Genome assembly and population genomic analysis of Aegilops caudata uncover a rich source for disease and insect pest resistance for wheat improvement

This paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Aegilops caudata and identifies novel resistance genes for wheat pests and diseases through population genomic analysis.

Evolution, diversity, function, and marker-based elimination of the disease susceptibility gene Snn1 in wheat

The paper identifies mutations in Snn1 genes that affect susceptibility to Septoria nodorum blotch and develops markers to eliminate these genes for improved wheat resistance.
