Three articles, two published in the journal “Science” and one in the journal “Science Advances”, describe various aspects of the sequencing of the genome of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum). An international consortium sequenced its huge DNA in an operation illustrated in the first article in “Science”. A map of the so-called transcriptome of this plant is described in the second article in “Science”. 828 genes, which for the most part were unknown, illustrated in the “Science Advances” article, are potentially connected with immune reactions to bread wheat.
