An international team of scientists, in a comprehensive study, have succeeded in discovering the genetic secrets of wheat. This achievement, published in the prestigious journal Nature, gives us a deeper understanding of the evolution of wheat and how it adapts to different environments.
According to the scientific news department of Tekna Technology Media, in this research, scientists succeeded in assembling 17 high-quality reference genomes from different types of wheat. Also, more than 250,000 genetic changes were identified, which play an important role in wheat characteristics such as disease resistance, adaptation to the environment, and grain quality. The study showed that wheat evolved from a spring plant to a winter plant, and this change was due to climate change. According to the researchers, genes responsible for disease resistance and adaptation to the environment were identified in this study. The researchers found that the wheat genome influenced the eating habits and culture of different societies.
According to Tekna Technology Media Technology News Service, this information will help researchers to create new wheat cultivars with desirable characteristics such as resistance to diseases and adaptability to different weather conditions. This study helps us to better understand the evolutionary processes in plants. In addition, by using this information, it is possible to produce agricultural products with higher quality and more productivity. This information will be used in the future for breeding wheat and creating cultivars with better performance and greater resistance to diseases and environmental stresses. It can also be used in the development of new food products with special characteristics. With a better understanding of the wheat genome, new methods for controlling plant diseases can be achieved.
This great achievement in the field of wheat genomics is an important step towards ensuring global food security and improving sustainable agriculture. Using this information, scientists can help produce wheat with better performance and greater resistance to climate change.
