Quantitative trait loci for rolled leaf in a wheat EMS mutant from Jagger
Two QTLs with major effects on rolled leaf trait were consistently detected on chromosomes 1A (QRl.hwwg-1AS) and 5A (QRl.hwwg-5AL) in the field experiments.

Open AccessDifferential chromatin accessibility landscape reveals structural and functional features of the allopolyploid wheat chromosomes
Our understanding of how the complexity of the wheat genome influences the distribution of chromatin states along the homoeologous chromosomes is limited. Using a differential nuclease sensitivity assay, we in...

Analysis of recombinant inbred line populations derived from wheat landraces to identify new genes for wheat stem sawfly resistance
Wheat landrace accessions were chosen from areas of the world with historical European wheat stem sawfly (Cephus pygmaeus L.) selection pressure to develop six recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations. Molecular...

Open AccessA haplotype map of allohexaploid wheat reveals distinct patterns of selection on homoeologous genomes
Bread wheat is an allopolyploid species with a large, highly repetitive genome. To investigate the impact of selection on variants distributed among homoeologous wheat genomes and to build a foundation for und...

Open AccessSystems genetics analysis of body weight and energy metabolism traits in Drosophila melanogaster
Obesity and phenotypic traits associated with this condition exhibit significant heritability in natural populations of most organisms. While a number of genes and genetic pathways have been implicated to play...

Open AccessQuantitative genomics of locomotor behavior in Drosophila melanogaster
Locomotion is an integral component of most animal behaviors, and many human health problems are associated with locomotor deficits. Locomotor behavior is a complex trait, with population variation attributabl...
