Summary Pre‐harvest sprouting (PHS), the germination of grain before harvest, is a serious problem resulting in wheat yield and quality losses. Here, we mapped PHS resistance gene PHS‐3D from synthetic hexaploid to 2.4 Mb presence–absence variation (PAV) region found that its effect was attributed pleiotropic Myb10‐D by integrated omics functional analyses. Three haplotypes were detected this PAV among 262 worldwide lines 16 Aegilops tauschii , percentages containing approximately 40% lower...

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a significant threat to global food security due its association with losses in both yield and quality. Among the genes involved PHS resistance wheat, PHS-3D (TaMyb10-D) plays crucial role. Here, we characterized sequence variations of TaMyb10 416 bread wheat 302 Aegilops tauschii accessions. Within TaMyb10-A sequences, identified deletion ranging from 214 305 bp signal amino acid coding region, present 61.3% Similarly, 79.3% TaMyb10-B sequences within third...

Wheat domestication and subsequent genetic improvement have yielded cultivated species with larger seeds compared to wild ancestors. Increasing thousand kernel weight (TKW) remains a crucial goal in many wheat breeding programs. To identify genomic regions influencing TKW across diverse populations, we performed comprehensive meta-analysis of quantitative trait loci (MQTL), integrating 993 initial QTL from 120 independent mapping studies over recent decades. We refined 242 into 66 MQTL, an...
