“…The use of the new technologies at the Nottingham BBSRC Wheat Research Centre (WRC) has allowed the transfer of hundreds of introgressions from a variety of wild relatives into wheat, e.g., Amblyopyrum muticum ( King et al, 2017 ), Thinopyrum bessarabicum ( Grewal et al, 2018b ), Ae. speltoides ( King et al, 2018 ), T. urartu ( Grewal et al, 2018a ), Triticum timopheevii ( Devi et al, 2019 ), Thinopyrum elongatum ( Baker et al, 2020 ), and Aegilops caudata ( Grewal et al, 2020b ). However, without identifying what genetic variation is carried by the introgressions, the lines produced will remain quite simply as ‘seeds in a packet’ of unknown agronomic potential.…”
