A comprehensive map of wheat gene activity is enabling breeders to develop higher-yielding, climate-resilient varieties, supporting global food security without increasing fertilizer use.
Wheat diversity discovery could provide an urgently-needed solution to global food security
Wheat has a very large and complex genome. Researchers have found that different varieties can use their genes in different ways.

How Genomes Support Resilient Wheat

As part of the 10+ Wheat Genomes Project, researchers from #HelmholtzMunich & Earlham Institute built the first wheat pan-transcriptome, mapping gene activity across varieties.

By comparing the #genomes of closely-related but non-pathogenic fungi alongside the pathogenic, they hope to uncover potentially important genes to develop new biocontrols.

One of those is Gaeumannomyces tritici, a soil-borne fungus that causes wheat take-all.

Take-all is one of the most serious pathogens of wheat, affecting half of UK #wheat #crops and leading to average yield losses of up to 20%. 🌾
