Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Large-scale structural variations (SVs) are significant drivers of genome evolution and crop adaptation, yet they remain poorly explored in wheat due to the complexity of its large, allopolyploid genome. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides), the direct progenitor of domesticated wheat, serves as a vital reservoir of genetic diversity. In this study, we performed a comparative genomic...
