🚨New paper out now in @TheorApplGenet! We report the transfer of 98% of the wild relative Aegilops mutica genome into bread wheat as introgressions. This expands genetic diversity for wheat breeding and reveals patterns of homoeologous recombination. 🌾

🚨New in today! Narrowing in on the Fusarium Head Blight type II resistance gene transferred from wild relative Triticum timopheevii into bread wheat with significant reduction in DON accumulation. 🌾

Published our low cost high throughput DNA extraction method in @PlantMethods last month. It’s what we use for our KASP genotyping. Highly recommend. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…
