This study generates non-transgenic wheat genetic stocks with reduced immunogenic epitopes to develop celiac disease-safe wheat varieties.

This paper reviews gene networks regulating spikelet number in wheat and highlights recent advances in understanding and engineering spike development for improved yield.

This study identifies miR156 and SPL genes' roles in wheat heading time regulation through interactions with photoperiod, vernalization, and gibberellin pathways, and develops genetic resources to fine-tune heading time.

Combining 99-gene smFISH across 48,225 cells with scRNA-seq of 26,009 cells maps 21 spatial expression domains and imputes 74,464 genes in early tetraploid wheat spikes.

This study deletes wheat alpha-gliadins from chromosome 6D to improve gluten strength and reduce celiac disease epitopes.

This study engineered the miR172-AP2L2 interaction to control wheat and triticale plant height without affecting coleoptile or first-leaf length.

This study identifies natural alleles of LEAFY and WAPO1 that interact to regulate spikelet number per spike in wheat, suggesting a genetic combination for improving grain yield.

This study identifies LEAFY and WAPO1 as regulators of spikelet number per spike and floret development in wheat through genetic and molecular interactions.

The paper sequences 4.3 million promoter mutations and 4.7 million coding mutations in wheat to understand gene function and improve agronomic traits.

The paper develops an updated capture panel for sequencing regulatory regions in wheat and related species, improving specificity and coverage over previous methods.

The paper develops a wheat haplotype graph database for efficient genotype storage and imputation, showing improved accuracy over existing methods.

The paper presents an improved haplotype-phased genome assembly of the wheat stripe rust pathogen PST-130 using long-read sequencing and diploid-aware assembly, revealing genetic diversity and potential introgression events.

The paper shows that three yellow rust resistance genes in wheat are all encoded by the same locus Wtk1, but their resistance responses vary depending on genetic background.

This study identifies VRN1, FUL2, and FUL3 as critical and redundant genes in wheat spikelet development, affecting flowering time, plant height, and grain yield.
