Wheat Pan-Genomics

面包小麦（Triticum aestivum L.）是英国最重要的作物，也是世界上种植最广泛的谷物。了解作物的遗传组成对于实现可持续产量、抗病性和适应不断变化的生长条件的增长至关重要。然而，这种理解一直缺乏小麦，因为它有一个非常复杂的遗传组成。但最近BBSRC的科学家们在分析小麦的完整遗传组成方面取得了突破。在这个项目中，我们的目标是通过访问对全球农业重要的几个关键小麦品种的遗传组成来建立英国的成功，并分析这些数据以帮助识别有用的遗传变异。这项工作将在一个国际框架内进行，以最大限度地提高英国对这种全球重要作物的研究效益。

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the UK's most important crop and the world's most widely cultivated cereal. Understanding the genetic make up of crops is essential for achieving increases in sustainable yield, disease resistance and adaptation to changing growing conditions. However this understanding has been lacking in wheat because it has a exceptionally complex genetic make-up. But recently BBSRC scientists have made a breakthrough in analysing the complete genetic make up of wheat. In this project we aim to build on the UK success by accessing the genetic make up of several key wheat varieties important for global agriculture, and to analyse this data to help identify useful genetic variation. This work will be carried out in an international framework that will maximise the benefit of UK research for this globally important crop.
