Disentangling sources of gene tree discordance for Hordeum species via target-enriched sequencing assays.

Hordeum is an economically and evolutionarily important genus within the Triticeae tribe of the family Poaceae, and contains 33 widely distributed and diverse species which cytologically represent four subgenomes (H, Xa, Xu and I). These wild species (except Hordeum spontaneum, which is the primary gene pool of barley) are secondary or tertiary gene-pool germplasms for barley and wheat improvement, and uncovering their complicated evolutionary relationships would benefit for future breeding programs. Here, we developed a complexity-reduced pipeline via capturing genome-wide distributed fragments via two novel target-enriched assays (HorCap v1.

Cytogenetic identification and molecular marker development of a novel wheat- 4Ns(4D) alien disomic substitution line with resistance to stripe rust and Fusarium head blight.

(Trin.) Pilg. (2 = 4 = 28, NsNsXmXm) potentially harbours useful genes that might contribute to the improvement of wheat.

Host Specificity of Soilborne Pathogens in Species and Their Relatives.

Soilborne pathogens destabilize the yields of crops, including barley ( L.) and wheat ( L.).

A reference-guided TILLING by amplicon-sequencing platform supports forward and reverse genetics in barley.

Barley is a diploid species with a genome smaller than those of other members of the Triticeae tribe, making it an attractive model for genetic studies in Triticeae crops. The recent development of barley genomics has created a need for a high-throughput platform to identify genetically uniform mutants for gene function investigations. In this study, we report an ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-mutagenized population consisting of 8525 M lines in the barley landrace "Hatiexi" (HTX), which we complement with a high-quality de novo assembly of a reference genome for this genotype.

GhAPC8 regulates leaf blade angle by modulating multiple hormones in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

Leaf angle, including leaf petiole angle (LPA) and leaf blade angle (LBA), is an important trait affecting plant architecture. Anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) genes play a vital role in plant growth and development, including regulation of leaf angle. Here, we identified and characterized the APC genes in Upland cotton (G.

Fine-Mapping of the Powdery Mildew Resistance Gene in the Common Wheat Landrace Xiaobaidong.

Powdery mildew, which is caused by f. sp. (), is a disease of wheat worldwide.
