New insights into bread wheat genome
A draft sequence of the bread wheat genome published in Science by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium provides new insight into the structure, organization, and evolution of the widely grown crop’s complex genome.

This blueprint will enable plant science researchers and breeders to rapidly locate specific genes on individual chromosomes throughout the genome, cutting the time needed to mere minutes, according to Jorge Dubcovsky, profes…
