ABSTRACT

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a wheat genome sequencing workshop was held November 10-11, 2003, in Washington, DC. It brought together 63 scientists of diverse research interests and institutions, including 45 from the United States and 18 from a dozen foreign countries (see list of participants at http://www.ksu.edu/igrow). The objectives of the workshop were to discuss the status of wheat genomics, obtain feedback from o...

Crop Science ; HEXAPLOID WHEAT (T. aestivum) was formed some 000 to 10 000 yr ago through one or more rare hybridization events between a wild tetraploid species (AABB) and a diploid Ae. tauschii (DD) (McFadden and Sears, 1946; Zohary and Hopf, 2000). Consequently, all modern wheat is limited by a bottleneck of
