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

The paper shows RNA-Seq in hexaploid wheat is biased by introgressed genes and proposes a pantranscriptome reference to reduce this bias.

This study uses whole genome sequencing to analyze hexaploid wheat/Ambylopyrum muticum introgression lines, identifying structural disruptions and gene expression patterns associated with introgression.

The paper develops chromosome-specific KASP markers for detecting Amblyopyrum muticum segments in wheat doubled haploid introgression lines using whole genome sequencing and SNP discovery.
