This IWYP collaboration on wheat wild relatives and photosynthesis with @plantyperson and @Erikmurchie was a great team effort between Nottingham, Lancaster, Essex and Bristol. Out now in New Phytologist.

Our work on generation of introgressions from wild relative species Aegilops caudata into wheat and their chatacterisation using chromosome-specific KASP markers is out in @FrontPlantSci today!
20 April 2020
Take a first look at our new paper "Exploiting the genome of Thinopyrum elongatum to expand the gene pool of hexaploid wheat". Theor. Appl. Gen. @laurenbaker1993
April 2020
Read about our collaboration with Prof E.H. Murchie at the University of Nottingham on discovering enhanced photosynthesis in our wild relative introgressions.
The IWYP Science Brief is a summary of work which is part of the IWYP collaboration “Wider and Faster: High-Throughout Phenotypic Exploration of Novel Genetic Variation for Breeding High Biomass and Yield in Wheat”.

KASP Paper
Finally the KASP marker paper "Rapid identification of homozygosity and site of wild relative introgressions in wheat through chromosome‐specific KASP genotyping assays" gets published in @PlantBiotechJ. Thank you to the whole team and to @SurbhiG6 for all their efforts over the last 3 years to make this resource available to the wheat research community. @UKFutureWheat @UoNBiosciences https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pbi.13241
