Open AccessPh2 encodes the mismatch repair protein MSH7-3D that inhibits wheat homoeologous recombination
Meiotic recombination is a critical process for plant breeding, as it creates novel allele combinations that can be exploited for crop improvement. In wheat, a complex allohexaploid that has a diploid-like beh...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification and analysis of non-specific Lipid Transfer Proteins in hexaploid wheat
Non-specific Lipid Transfer Proteins (nsLTPs) are involved in numerous biological processes. To date, only a fraction of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) nsLTPs (TaLTPs) have been identified, and even fewer have been...

Open AccessPOTAGE: A Visualisation Tool for Speeding up Gene Discovery in Wheat
POPSEQ Ordered Triticum aestivum Gene Expression (POTAGE) is a web application which accelerates the process of identifying candidate genes for quantitative trait loci (QTL) in hexaploid wheat. This is achieved b...

Open AccessMolecular identification of the wheat male fertility gene Ms1 and its prospects for hybrid breeding
The current rate of yield gain in crops is insufficient to meet the predicted demands. Capturing the yield boost from heterosis is one of the few technologies that offers rapid gain. Hybrids are widely used fo...
