Abstract excerpt
Diversity surveys of crop germplasm are important for gaining insights into the genomic basis for plant architecture and grain yield improvement, which is still poorly understood in wheat. In this study, we exome sequenced 287 wheat accessions that were collected in the past 100 years. Population genetics analysis identified that 6.7% of the wheat genome falls within the selective sweeps between landraces and...
