Non-additive dosage-dependent effects of TaGS3 gene editing on grain size and weight in wheat

This study shows that reducing TaGS3 gene copies in wheat decreases grain size and weight in a non-additive, dosage-dependent manner, suggesting potential for improving grain yield through gene editing.

Ecogeographic signals of local adaptation in a wild relative help to identify variants associated with improved wheat performance under drought stress

This study identifies climate-adaptive alleles from Aegilops tauschii that improve wheat performance under drought stress using genome-wide environmental scans and introgression lines.

The haplotype-based analysis of Aegilops tauschii introgression into hard red winter wheat and its impact on productivity traits

This study evaluates the impact of Aegilops tauschii introgression on wheat yield traits, identifying beneficial haplotypes associated with increased grain production and stability.

Gene editing and mutagenesis reveal inter-cultivar differences and additivity in the contribution of TaGW2 homoeologues to grain size and weight in wheat

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.
