opped since 1980.
Analysis of the wheat genome sequence data provides a new and very powerful foundation for breeding future generations of wheat more quickly and more precisely, to help address this problem, Edwards added.
The data is already being used in the research supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to utilise wild wheat's untapped genetic traits in order to boost tolerance to diseases and climate change.
The sequence data has been stored at t
