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

Honglian Ye, Qijun Zhang, Prakitchai Chotewutmontri, Swarupa Nanda Mandal, Zhixia Niu, Yunming Long, Jianqiang Shen, Rebecca B. Whetten, Genqiao Li, Yue Jin, Sam Gale, T. L. Friesen, Amanda R. Peters Haugrud, Xiangyang Xu, Justin D. Faris, , Steven S. Xu

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.

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

Sudeshi Seneviratne, Gongjun Shi, Ágnes Szabó-Hevér, Zengcui Zhang, Amanda R. Peters Haugrud, Katherine L. D. Running, Gurminder Singh, Raja Sekhar Nandety, Jason D. Fiedler, Phillip E. McClean, Steven S. Xu, Timothy L. Friesen, Justin D. Faris

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.
