wheat research

Benzoxazinoids secreted from maize roots into the soil can improve the yield of future plants

A new height-reducing gene can allow seeds to be planted deeper in soil for better access to moisture

The gene-edited mutant wheat had significantly more grains per spike compared with the wild type

Though Pst is known to be highly host-specific, it is interestingly able to infect two unrelated host plants, wheat and barberry, at different spore stages

Recently published research brings scientists closer to unlocking the entire gene set—or pan genomes—of wheat and barley

Researchers show that current platforms used by breeders do not provide the resolution needed to distinguish between haplotypes, potentially leading to inaccurate breeding decisions

To help develop these varieties, scientists recently studied stripe rust resistance genes in 616 spring wheat varieties using the genome-wide association study approach

Wild relatives of our domestic crops already cope with harsh conditions and resist disease; can we use them to help our preferred crops adapt?

New research may lead to the protection of multiple kinds of crops, as well as advance the understanding of any virus

Researchers working on molecular-level responses in crops have taken a step closer to their goal of producing heat-tolerant wheat
