Abstract excerpt
Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum), a major staple crop, has a remarkably large genome of ~14.4 Gb (containing 106 913 high-confidence [HC] and 159 840 low-confidence [LC] genes in the Chinese Spring v2.1 reference genome), which poses a major challenge for functional genomics studies. To overcome this hurdle, we performed whole-exome sequencing to generate a nearly saturated wheat mutant database containing...
