One of the greatest virus disease threats to wheat production in the Great Plains of the USA isWheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV). Breeding programs have developed wheat varieties that are resistant or toler...

Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is a mite-vectored with substantial economic impact on wheat production. One of the effective sources resistance to WSMV, Wsm1, carried translocation from Thinopyrum intermedium. The original whole arm form this (T4DL·4JsS) was highly against WSMV but yield penalty in absence virus. Shorter recombinants Th. intermedium are now available. This study characterized...

CRISPR/Cas technology has recently become the molecular tool of choice for gene function studies in plants as well crop improvement. Wheat is a globally important staple with annotated genome and there plenty scope improving its agriculturally traits using editing technologies, such CRISPR/Cas. As part this study we targeted three different genes hexaploid wheat Triticum aestivum: TaBAK1-2 spri...
