This paper uses CRISPR/Cas9, base editing, and prime editing to generate Rht-1 variants in diverse wheat landraces, reducing plant height and creating agronomically useful traits.

This study develops an optimized Agrobacterium-mediated wheat transformation protocol using GRF4-GIF1, enabling efficient, genotype-independent transformation across multiple wheat cultivars.

The paper identifies Stb15, a lectin receptor-like kinase gene conferring resistance to Septoria tritici blotch in wheat, through GWAS and functional validation.

This study shows that the DMC1 gene on wheat chromosome 5D maintains proper chromosome synapsis and crossover at both high and low temperatures, which is critical for wheat fertility and yield.
