This paper introduces a rapid, reproducible soil-based protocol for screening drought tolerance in small grain cereals and their wild relatives at the seedling stage, showing consistent results across developmental stages.

This paper presents a high-quality chromosome-scale reference genome assembly for Aegilops peregrina using PacBio HiFi and Hi-C sequencing, enabling genomic analysis of its subgenomes.

This study fine-maps the RPc2 resistance locus in strawberries to 546 kb, identifies candidate genes, and reveals the genetic architecture and haplotype distribution of resistance to Phytophthora crown rot.

This paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Aegilops caudata and identifies novel resistance genes for wheat pests and diseases through population genomic analysis.

The paper identifies the origin of the predominant North American Pst lineage, PstS18, as a somatic hybridization event between PstS1 and an unknown lineage.

The paper analyzes the genome of Fusarium solani strain SB1, revealing that dispensable genome regions and segmental duplications contribute to its genome plasticity and adaptive traits.

This study presents a high-quality genome assembly of Ae. umbellulata and resequencing data revealing structural variations, evolutionary sub-populations, and new resistance gene haplotypes useful for wheat improvement.

The paper identifies 16 wheat mutants with enhanced resistance to stripe rust and other fungal pathogens through forward genetic screening and maps their mutations to a long-read genome.
