Open AccessDAWN: a resource for yielding insights into the diversity among wheat genomes
Democratising the growing body of whole genome sequencing data available for Triticum aestivum (bread wheat) has been impeded by the lack of a genome reference and the large computational requirements for analysi...

Open AccessOptical and physical map** with local finishing enables megabase-scale resolution of agronomically important regions in the wheat genome
Numerous scaffold-level sequences for wheat are now being released and, in this context, we report on a strategy for improving the overall assembly to a level comparable to that of the human genome.

Open AccessTranscriptome-scale homoeolog-specific transcript assemblies of bread wheat
Bread wheat is one of the world’s most important food crops and considerable efforts have been made to develop genomic resources for this species. This includes an on-going project by the International Wheat G...

Open AccessDiscovery of barley miRNAs through deep sequencing of short reads
MicroRNAs are important components of the regulatory network of biological systems and thousands have been discovered in both animals and plants. Systematic investigations performed in species with sequenced g...

Open AccessComparative transcriptomics in the Triticeae
Barley and particularly wheat are two grass species of immense agricultural importance. In spite of polyploidization events within the latter, studies have shown that genotypically and phenotypically these spe...

Flt-2L, a locus in barley controlling flowering time, spike density, and plant height
Flowering time represents an important adaptive trait for temperate cereal crops and may also impact on frost damage in cereal reproductive tissues by enabling escape or by influencing accumulation of genuine ...

Structure–function analysis of the barley genome: the gene-rich region of chromosome 2HL
A major gene-rich region on the end of the long arm of Triticeae group 2 chromosomes exhibits high recombination frequencies, making it an attractive region for positional cloning. Traits known to be controlle...

Open AccessConserved upstream open reading frames in higher plants
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) can down-regulate the translation of the main open reading frame (mORF) through two broad mechanisms: ribosomal stalling and reducing reinitiation efficiency. In distantly ...

Identification of transposons, retroelements, and a gene family predominantly expressed in floral tissues in chromosome 3DS of the hexaploid wheat progenitor Aegilops tauschii
A multigene family expressed during early floral development was identified on the short arm of wheat chromosome 3D in the region of the Ph2 locus, a locus controlling homoeologous chromosome pairing in allohexap...

Open AccessMicroarray expression analysis of meiosis and microsporogenesis in hexaploid bread wheat
Our understanding of the mechanisms that govern the cellular process of meiosis is limited in higher plants with polyploid genomes. Bread wheat is an allohexaploid that behaves as a diploid during meiosis. Chr...

An atlas of gene expression from seed to seed through barley development
Assaying relative and absolute levels of gene expression in a diverse series of tissues is a central step in the process of characterizing gene function and a necessary component of almost all publications des...
