The recent release of a high-quality reference sequence for wheat has resulted in a suite of genetic and genomics resources to support biology and breeding. These include accurate gene model annotations, gene expression atlases and gene networks that provide background information about putative gene function. In parallel, sequenced mutation populations, improved transformation protocols and structured natural populations provide rapid methods to study gene function directly.
In the workshop we will describe some of these newly available resources and use case studies and hand-on practical sessions to exemplifying how to integrate these resources to study gene function in wheat and thereby accelerate improvement in this important crop.
