Multi-target genome editing reduces polyphenol oxidase activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grains

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to edit multiple PPO genes in wheat, significantly reducing PPO activity in both T1 and T2 lines.

Transcriptional signatures of wheat inflorescence development

The paper characterizes gene regulatory networks in wheat inflorescence development using transcriptomic data, identifying key transcription factors and regulatory hubs involved in spikelet formation.

Genomic And Molecular Characterization Of The Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus Resistance Locus 2 (Wsm2) In Common Wheat (Triticum Aestivum. L)

This study characterizes the Wsm2 resistance locus in wheat, identifying structural variation and candidate genes associated with resistance to Wheat Streak Mosaic Virus.

Evolution of the bread wheat D-subgenome and enriching it with diversity from Aegilops tauschii

The paper sequences 242 Ae. tauschii accessions to study genetic diversity in the bread wheat D-subgenome, identifies disease resistance genes, and demonstrates their functional transfer into wheat.

Effect of phyB and phyC loss-of-function mutations on the wheat transcriptome under short and long day photoperiods

This study examines how phyB and phyC mutations affect wheat transcriptomes under different photoperiods, finding that mutants flower earlier in short days than long days.
