Very grateful for this cross-institutional collaboration with https://t.co/2pMaO8jNrW: new genome resources & genes cloned/characterized, and novel insights into wheat's evolutionary history.

[Naveenkumar Athiyannan @anaveen07]

Happy to see this one out now. https://t.co/dTZEs2U7BM

Check out our recent preprint on the Aegilops tauschii pangenome facilitating gene discovery and providing new insights into origin and evolution of the bread wheat D genome. Emile @AndreaGonz64 @AbroukMichael

Out now from the Open Wild Wheat Consortium: ‘Origin and evolution of the bread wheat D genome’. 46 Tauschii genomes shed new light on the bread wheat D genome history. Almost 40% of the D genome gene content resulted from secondary hybridization events.

Interesting read on the latest results of the Open Wild Wheat Consortium.

Origin and evolution of the bread wheat D genome, including 46 high-quality Aegilops tauschii assemblies.

We could also report the total contribution of lineage 3 of Ae. tauschii in bread wheat gene pool which is about 16% incontrast to 1-2% reported previously. Contribution of different tauschii subpopulations provides new insights towards understanding of the origin of bread wheat

With this amazing resource, we cloned the leaf rust resistance gene Lr39 encoding a novel tandem kinase fusion protein and resolved the haplotype mystery of SrTA1662 (now Sr66).
