Abstract
Bread wheat is the most widely cultivated crop which is harvested every month of the year somewhere in the world. When farmed intensively, under good conditions with high inputs, wheat can yield more than 14 t/ha. However, a gradual reduction in available active ingredients for pest control, long-term goals for more sustainable agriculture and increased likelihood of more frequent extreme weather events, all point to the need for introducing improved ‘genetics’ into the seed. The analysis and publication of major wheat sequencing efforts over the last 5 years provide the raw materials for translational research and functional genomics. The scene is now set for a major change in wheat breeding and biotechnology.
