BESE in @Nature: The complex history of bread wheat D genome demonstrates potential of wild relatives in crop improvement: discovery.kaust.edu.sa/en/article/246… Open Wild Wheat Consortium: openwildwheat.org #wheatgenomics #KAUSTResearch @anaveen07 @CavaletGiorsaE @AndreaGonz64

Very grateful for this cross-institutional collaboration with OpenWildWheat.org: new genome resources & genes cloned/characterized, and novel insights into wheat's evolutionary history.

Happy to see this one out now. nature.com/articles/s4158…

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 @simonkrattinger @BrandeWulff @kaustcda biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

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. nature.com/articles/s4158…

@Natalia05522 @TheSainsburyLab All the best

A dream come true. Let it begin! 🌱👩🏼‍🔬 @TheSainsburyLab #SummerConference

Very happy to present our review of the last 50 years of plant immunity - thanks to coauthors @bstask and Jeff Dangl cell.com/cell/current# . Thanks to @MahmutTor for great cover pic. Apologies to all who feel we didn't do justice to their contribution - space was limited!

We are hiring: Assistant Professor in Plant Biology at KAUST. Amazing opportunity to do great science. nature.com/naturecareers/…

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. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @Nils__Stein @CristobalUauy @BrandeWulff @CurtisPozniak

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).
