Progress and innovations of gene cloning in wheat and its close relatives.

ABSTRACT:

Key message

Wheat and its close relatives have large and complex genomes, making gene cloning difficult. Nevertheless, developments in genomics over the past decade have made it more feasible. The large and complex genomes of cereals, especially bread wheat, have always been a challenge for gene mapping and cloning. Nevertheless, recent advances in genomics have led to significant progress in this field. Currently, high-quality reference sequences are available for major wheat species and their relatives. New high-throughput genotyping platforms and next-generation sequencing technologies combined with genome complexity reduction techniques and mutagenesis have opened new avenues for gene cloning. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the genes cloned in wheat so f
