The gene models assembled from each are an extremely valuable resource for wheat researchers, although both groups state that these are draft sequences that will be improved by subsequent studies.
The results of the current study could be very valuable and useful for wheat researchers in improving photosynthetic capacity of wheat.
Aegilops tauschii, the D-genome donor of common wheat, is considered a valuable genetic resource for wheat improvement.
It is known as the D genome progenitor of hexaploid common wheat Triticum aestivum L., and much work has been done to clarify how the Ae. tauschii germplasm, a valuable genetic resource for wheat breeding, is structured [ 15– 25].
Genetic resources that have proved valuable for the improvement of wheat have included elite cultivars, landraces and ancestral wild relatives [ 6].
Therefore, model plant systems for wheat are very valuable.
Although these studies provided valuable information, the biochemical processes important for wheat grain development still require research because this species has a much larger genome and a more complex proteome than model plants such as Arabidopsis and rice.
Novel allelic variants have been identified for the three SBEIIa homoeologs in bread wheat that represent a valuable resource both for functional genomics studies and for wheat improvement.
Identified genes differentially expressed under terminal water stress may be valuable for further studies addressing drought resistance in wheat.
Watch out for wheat flour in your spices too.
