This paper introduces Flywheel Genomics, a framework that integrates trait discovery with rapid cycling breeding to improve plant breeding efficiency and genetic gain.

The paper develops genomic approaches to build elite gene pools from locally-adapted landraces, finding that QGI effectively identifies elite pairs while cis-elite crosses yield better genetic gain.

The paper analyzes interchromosomal linkage disequilibrium in wheat breeding families to detect sign epistasis, finding 19 regions with strong disequilibrium that support the hypothesis over additive selection.

The paper examines trends in yield phenotypic plasticity and heritability in winter wheat cultivars over time, finding increased plasticity and decreased heritability, with genomic regions for yield varying by environment.

This study improves genomic selection in hexaploid wheat by incorporating additive and epistatic effects, leading to a 3% increase in prediction accuracy for grain yield.

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

The paper edits ω- and γ-gliadin gene clusters in wheat using CRISPR-Cas9 to reduce immunoreactivity without affecting protein quality.

This study uses high-throughput phenotyping and genomic prediction to assess and improve barley yellow dwarf resistance in wheat.

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

The paper presents a chromosome-scale rye genome assembly to study genomic evolution and agronomic traits in Triticeae crops.

This study evaluates the economic benefits of genomic selection in a winter wheat breeding program by analyzing prediction accuracy, genotyping costs, and heritability levels.

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