Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of polyploid wheat genomic diversity using a high-density 90 000 single nucleotide polymorphism array

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

Wild emmer genome architecture and diversity elucidate wheat evolution and domestication

TL;DR: A 10.1-gigabase assembly of the 14 chromosomes of wild tetraploid wheat, as well as analyses of gene content, genome architecture, and genetic diversity reveal genomic regions bearing the signature of selection under domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Root system architecture: opportunities and constraints for genetic improvement of crops.

TL;DR: As discussed here, marker-assisted selection and quantitative trait loci cloning for RSA are underway, exploiting genomic resources, candidate genes and the knowledge gained from Arabidopsis, rice and other crops to manipulate root system architecture towards a distribution of roots in the soil that optimizes water and nutrient uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

To clone or not to clone plant QTLs: present and future challenges

TL;DR: It is predicted that although QTL analysis and cloning addressing naturally occurring genetic variation should shed light on mechanisms of plant adaptation, a greater emphasis on approaches relying on mutagenesis and candidate gene validation is likely to accelerate the pace of discovering the genes underlying QTLs.
