The paper designs and deploys a regulation-compliant infrared heating system for UK field trials, showing effects on wheat phenotypes under climate warming.

This study evaluates the yield impact of TaGW2 mutations in wheat, finding increased grain size but no overall yield gain due to reduced grain number.

The paper examines transcriptional compensation between homoeologs in wheat mutants with PTC mutations and finds limited upregulation.

The paper tests whether stigma longevity limits hybrid wheat seed production by examining seed set in male sterile cultivars with varying stigma deterioration onset, finding that stigma receptivity remains stable during the pollination window.

This study shows that polyploidy allows for viable mutants of MET1-1 in wheat with altered DNA methylation, revealing dosage-dependent effects and heritable phenotypic changes.

This study identifies TaMYB7-A1 haplotypes that regulate PHS resistance and wheat geographic adaptation through ABA signaling and gene expression mechanisms.

The paper identifies QTLs regulating homoeolog expression bias in wheat and shows intra-subgenome regulation causes expression imbalance and functional differences among homoeologs.

This study annotates the wheat pan-transcriptome de novo and identifies gene diversity and expression patterns across multiple wheat cultivars and tissues.

This study shows modern wheat breeding improved both above- and below-ground traits through synergistic genomic selection.

This study uses gene editing and mutagenesis to show that TaGW2 homoeologues contribute additively to grain size and weight in wheat, with inter-cultivar differences in their effects.
