"The research team at the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium, has unveiled more information about a genetic blueprint of wheat, also known as common wheat.
As per researchers, the genetic blueprint of wheat would prove beneficial in guiding process in development of new varieties. The group unveiled about a chromosome-based draft genome sequence of bread
wheat. The work would make it easier to identify genes that control important factors like yield, disease and pest resistance.
Frédéric Choulet from the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) was of the view that bread wheat is an important crop. Its genome has been so complex that it was considered to be quite almost impossible to be sequenced.
Researchers have sequenced the genes of bread wheat, whose scientific name is Triticum aestivum. Some important facts unveiled by researchers were wheat has around 124 000 genes. Its genome is 40 times larger than rice and seven times bigger than corn. Its genome is in fact more than five times larger than the human genome.
In their work, researchers have even looked at the largest of wheat's 21 chromosomes. Researchers feel there is a need to develop novel and improved wheat varieties." FrenchTribune
