The paper identifies AvrWTK4, a pathogen effector recognised by the wheat tandem kinase receptor WTK4, and shows its interaction with the HMA-like domain of WTK4.

The paper identifies a wheat resistance gene Lr41 that directly recognizes an effector AvrLr41 through its pseudokinase domain, revealing a non-canonical immune mechanism involving kinase-type receptors and helper proteins.

The paper identifies an extended β-finger motif in kinase fusion proteins from wheat and barley, showing it is a conserved feature linked to disease resistance.

This study identifies genomic loci associated with agronomic and grain traits in tef, revealing novel marker-trait associations and retrotransposon effects on grain color and size.

The paper identifies a two-component resistance mechanism in wheat where a tandem kinase sensor recruits an NLR helper to trigger immunity against fungal pathogens.

The paper sequenced wild barley to identify genetic markers linked to agronomic traits and found novel loci for stem rust resistance and days to heading.

The paper analyzes the genetic composition and history of the bread wheat D genome using a pangenome of its donor species, revealing contributions from discrete subpopulations of Aegilops tauschii.

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

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

This paper clones four stem rust resistance genes in wild diploid wheat using association genetics and R gene enrichment sequencing within six months.

The paper compares the genome sequences of two wheat cultivars to identify structural variations and their evolutionary mechanisms.

This study assesses the functionality of cloned wheat Sr genes in barley, finding that Sr22, Sr33, Sr35, and Sr45 confer effective resistance against stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici.

The paper develops NLR-Annotator to identify NLR genes in wheat genomes and characterizes their structure, phylogeny, and expression, finding 3,400 NLR loci with 88% low basal expression.

The paper introduces a modified sequence capture method that enables simultaneous analysis of genotype and methylation from the same genomic DNA sample in wheat.
