Deskripsi
Delorean et al., along with colleagues from the Open Wild Wheat Consortium, present an analysis of Aegilops tauschii genomes to investigate the origins of the Glu-D1 gene in modern wheats. They discover an abundance of novel Glu-D1 gene alleles that could serve as a reservoir for generating higher quality wheat varieties. This is a companion to the Consortium paper which is available in Nature Biotechnology.
