"The discovery of this previously unknown contribution to the bread wheat genome is akin to discovering the introgression of Neanderthal DNA into the out of Africa human genome," researcher Kumar Gaurav said in a statement.

Two key insights from our work on wheat blast (now out in @NaturePlants: https://t.co/Zqs67KFwBD) - Non-host resistance to blast fungus conferred by two qualitative resistance genes => possible to make a crop non-host to specialist pathogen by stacking qualitative R genes (1/n)

Excited to share our study on the identification of two wheat resistance genes, Rwt3 and Rwt4, which form the host-specificity barrier against the blast fungus. (1/n)

https://t.co/4jpndrpGUd We @2blades are proud to have contributed to this important wheat research which is "akin to discovering the introgression of Neanderthal DNA into the out of Africa human genome.” @BrandeWulff @kgaurav1208 #wheat #foodsecurity

Check out our latest work on Pseudomonas vs potato pathogens. Very happy to have been involved in this project which finally sees the light. Congratulations to everyone!

Exploring the diversity of the wild progenitor of the wheat D subgenome allows for rapid trait discovery, according to a @NatureBiotech paper. https://t.co/zeqMvbQnOQ

The success of bread wheat 🌾 🍞 as a major worldwide crop is supported by its adaptability to diverse environments, high grain yield and nutritional content but maximizing its potential requires a deep understanding of its genome. More in the @Nature 👉 https://t.co/yVN8DgNvp2
