  • Nils Stein, Ehud Weiss, Tzion Fahima, Johannes Krause and colleagues report the genome sequences of 6,000-year-old barley grains obtained from desert caves in Israel. They compare these to whole-exome sequences of a modern barley diversity panel to explore domestication and migration patterns, finding evidence for prehistoric gene flow between wild and cultivated populations.

  • The powdery mildew resistance of the MLIW170/PM26 locus, which originated from wild emmer wheat, is determined by a genetically linked atypical NLR gene pair, TdCNL1 and TdCNL5, with TdCNL1 encoding an atypical nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat protein integrating a potassium-dependent sodium-calcium exchanger domain.

  • Powdery mildew is a devasting disease for both common wheat and durum wheat. Here, the authors report the powdery mildew resistance locus derived from wild emmer wheat is conferred by the combined effect of two complementary nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat genes.

  • Powdery mildew is a fungal leaf disease that reduces yield and grain quality in susceptible wheat varieties. Here, the authors report the cloning of the wild emmer wheat originated powdery mildew resistance gene Pm36 as a membrane associated tandem kinase and its possible resistance mechanism.

  • Two studies describe kinase fusion proteins (KFPs) that regulate the perception and deception of wheat pathogens. These highlight the emergence of KFPs as plant immune regulators and emphasize the importance of crop wild relatives as a reservoir for resistance breeding and global food security.

  • Yellow rust fungus severely limits global wheat production and breeding of durable resistance is challenging. Here Klymiuk et al. isolate the broad-spectrum Yr15 resistance gene from wild emmer wheat and show that it is a member of a distinct tandem kinase-pseudokinase family of plant proteins.

  • Introgression of the short arm of rye chromosome one into common wheat increases root biomass and drought tolerance, but the underlying genetic basis is unknown. Here, the authors report that dosage differences in 12-OXOPHYTODIENOATE REDUCTASE genes modulate the differences of wheat root architecture.
