Genetic resource optimization: a core collection of tetraploid wheat from 2,254 NBRP-wheat accessions.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTetraploid wheat, comprising both Emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum, AABB genome) and Timopheevii wheat (T. timopheevii, AAGG genome), harbors rich genetic diversity that remains underutilized in modern breeding. The National Bioresource Project-Wheat (NBRP-Wheat) conserves over 2,000 wild and landrace accessions of tetraploid wheat. To enhance the accessibility and application of these resources, we aimed to develop a representative core collection and explore its potential in genetic analysis and breeding.
resultsWe first assessed the genetic diversity of all tetraploid wheat accessions in the NBRP-Wheat gene bank using Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT), and selected 179 representative accessions to establish a core collection. This core set and T. durum cv. Kronos were further genotyped using genotyping by random amplicon sequencing-direct (GRAS-Di). Population structure and diversity analyses revealed clear genetic differentiation among Timopheevii, wild emmer, and domesticated emmer wheat. A significant reduction in genetic diversity was observed in domesticated emmer compared to its wild counterpart. Selective sweep analysis identified several differentiated loci between wild and free-threshing emmer, some of which correspond to known domestication-related genes. Additionally, k-mer-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified both known and novel loci associated with important agronomic traits, including glume hairiness, anthocyanin pigmentation in cotyledons and coleoptiles, hundred-grain weight, and culm length.
conclusionsOur study provides a valuable core collection that captures the genetic diversity of tetraploid wheat conserved in NBRP-Wheat. The identified genomic regions and trait-associated loci demonstrate the utility of this core set for trait dissection and highlight its potential in future wheat improvement programs.
