This study identifies genetic variants underlying seven Mendelian traits in pea, revealing new alleles and gene mutations for traits previously poorly understood.

The paper identifies that the wheat resistance gene Pm4 confers resistance to wheat blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, highlighting its importance for developing resistant cultivars in affected regions.

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

The paper develops a high-density SNP genotyping array for wheat using whole genome skim sequencing and a novel optimization approach, showing improved performance in GWAS and CNV analysis.

The paper identifies Stb15, a lectin receptor-like kinase gene conferring resistance to Septoria tritici blotch in wheat, through GWAS and functional validation.

This study shows Tidestromia oblongifolia rapidly acclimates to extreme heat by altering gene expression, organellar dynamics, and photosynthesis.
