High-quality reference genomes of einkorn wheat, the world’s first domesticated crop, have now been sequenced. The contiguous wheat genome assemblies include gap-free centromeres (parts of the ...
An evolutionary "arms race" for light and space led to the early domestication of wheat, according to new research that could offer fresh insights into crop design. The study led by Dr. Yixiang Shan ...
An international team of researchers led by UMD scientists have sequenced the complete genome for einkorn wheat, the world’s first domesticated crop and traced its evolutionary history. The ...
