In a study in which they say will help eradicate major wheat diseases, researchers have assembled the genome of bread wheat and identified the gene responsible for stripe rust resistance.
The company's scientists have developed a series of wheat varietals through traditional breeding methods that provide functional benefits like high fiber content, extended shelf life or reduced gluten. Arcadia debuted these ingredients in the form...
The International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC) has announced its partnership with Arbor Biosciences to accelerate research efforts into the highly complex bread wheat genome.
The world’s first DNA map of global wheat varieties will give unprecedented knowledge on genetic characteristics, helping breeders to innovate faster, says a Kansas State University plant pathology scientist.
There is hope for cheaper and more accessible wheat as a draft genetic blueprint of bread wheat genome is unveiled by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium.
