This paper presents a chromosome-scale genome of Thinopyrum bessarabicum, showing the J genome is not part of polyploid Thinopyrum ancestry and identifies genomic features linked to salt tolerance.

A 1,096-image pixel-labelled wheat organ dataset plus 52,078 unlabelled field images from 11 institutions enables Segformer leaf and spike segmentation near 90% mIoU, while stems lag.

This study uses landrace diversity in wheat to identify genetic resources for climate resilience and improved traits, providing a framework for crop improvement.

This study links fluorescence and NDVI imaging to photosynthetic traits in wheat using multi-scale and temporal measurements across two cultivars.

The paper identifies hidden genetic and epigenetic variation in polyploid wheat that contributes to local adaptation and suggests using methylation and transposon diversity for breeding.
