The edit, which helps the crop resist a common fungal infection, was approved within an unusually short period It is the ...

Scientists have successfully mapped the genome sequence of Aegilops mutica, a wild relative of wheat, shedding light on its genetic diversity and potential use in breeding programs.

Cattivelli, an expert on the wheat genome, says the next chapter of the story deals with our immediate future; scientists must develop new varieties of wheat and other staple crops to meet the rapid ...

The near-complete assembly of the Chinese Spring wheat genome (CS-CAU) was achieved using advanced sequencing technologies, resulting in a 14.46 Gb genome with over 99.996% base accuracy and only ...

Surbhi Grewal, assistant professor, School of Biosciences, led the wild wheat variety study at the University of Nottingham. NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND — Scientists have mapped the genome sequence for a wild ...

MURDOCH, AUSTRALIA —An international team of scientists from Australia and China announced the first chromosome-scale genome of a wild barley species, describing the breakthrough as a significant ...

Varshney says, "Telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies, currently under construction in wheat, support these trait identification efforts and may spark major agricultural innovation in the context ...

Gene editing has taken root in plant breeding, leading to numerous advances in plant-based foods. K-State scientists, for example, have used gene editing to reduce the presence of gluten-coding genes ...

This work primarily uses Illumina Next Generation Sequence data from normalised cDNA libraries, but as part of the UK wheat genome sequencing consortium we are currently using ABI SOLiD whole genome ...
