The research provides the most comprehensive atlas of wheat genome sequences reported to date. Wheat, one of the worldΓÇÖs most cultivated crops, requires its production to be increased by more than 50 per cent by 2050 in order to meet the estimated global demand. This study will aid global crop breeding considerably, helping to improve crop yield, quality and pest resistance in wheat and other important crop plants. "Wheat is a staple food and any improvements we can make to increase its productivity and quality will be important as the world population quickly grows and food security becomes an increasing issue."
