Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Modern wheat breeding has significantly improved yield and agronomic uniformity, but its collateral impact on adaptive plasticity is not fully understood. Iranian wheat landraces, as a primary center of diversity, provide a unique reservoir for studying ancestral variation. This study investigates the genomic architecture of diversity loss and identifies selective footprints associated with the...
