Structural and functional partitioning of bread wheat chromosome 3B

Publication of the first reference sequence of the biggest bread wheat chromosome. Thanks to an international collaboration, coordinated by INRA jointly with CEA (Genoscope), CNRS and Université d’Evry in France, this major achievement will allow the identification of numerous genes of agronomic interest, and accelerate wheat improvement. Results are published in Science on July 18th, 2014.
