The wheat plant and its genome
The information on this website builds on over a century of scientific research and knowledge – from John Percival’s The Wheat Plant in 1921, to current research providing a fully annotated reference genome for wheat (see diagram from IWGSC in Science Vol. 361, No. 6403)
In the Resources pages you will find chapter pages on the cereal science of various development stages and traits, pdf downloadable chapters, and our archive of wheat heads from across the globe.
There are also pages providing more information about the RA Foundation that supports this page, and contact details.
