TL;DR: The developed array and cluster identification algorithms provide an opportunity to infer detailed haplotype structure in polyploid wheat and will serve as an invaluable resource for diversity studies and investigating the genetic basis of trait variation in wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide comparative diversity uncovers multiple targets of selection for improvement in hexaploid wheat landraces and cultivars.

TL;DR: It is shown that selection likely acts on distinct targets or multiple functionally equivalent alleles in different portions of the geographic range of wheat, suggesting either weak selection pressure or temporal variation in the targets of directional selection during breeding probably associated with changing agricultural practices or environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
From mutations to MAGIC: resources for gene discovery, validation and delivery in crop plants.
TL;DR: Approaches to mapping genes and the development of Multi-parent Advanced Generation Inter-cross populations derived from breeder-relevant germplasm as a platform for a new generation of gene-trait analysis in crop species are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multiparent advanced generation inter-cross population for genetic analysis in wheat
Bevan Emma Huang,Andrew George,Kerrie Forrest,Andrzej Kilian,Matthew J. Hayden,Matthew K. Morell,Colin Cavanagh +6 more
TL;DR: The utilization of a MAGIC population for the first time for linkage map construction is reported and a linkage map with 1162 DArT, single nucleotide polymorphism and simple sequence repeat markers distributed across all 21 chromosomes is constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
MAGIC populations in crops: current status and future prospects
Bevan Emma Huang,Klara L. Verbyla,Arūnas P. Verbyla,Chitra Raghavan,Vikas K. Singh,Pooran M. Gaur,Hei Leung,Rajeev K. Varshney,Colin Cavanagh +8 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on populations where the parents have all been inter-mated, typically termed Multi-parent Advanced Generation Intercrosses (MAGIC), which have already been created in model animals and plants, and are emerging in many crop species.
