Abstract excerpt
Deep knowledge of crop biodiversity is essential to improve global food security. Despite bread wheat serving as a keystone crop worldwide, the population history of bread wheat and its wild relatives (a.k.a. wheats) remains elusive. By analyzing whole-genome sequences of 795 wheats, we found that bread wheat originated southwest of the Caspian Sea ∼11,700 years ago and underwent a slow speciation process, lasting...
