Description	• During the year, we have provided BBSRC Swindon office with a google.doc site, which lists all our DFW outputs (including data access sites, germplasm generated, datasets generated, publications, and public engagement activities as they occur). This document is updated by us on a regular basis. All the objectives during the DFW reporting period have been met, and many exceeded. All the committees within DFW are running well including the key data coordination task force (DCTF) and Breeder's toolkit committees, both with WP2 representation. • Wheat starch is normally composed of both A and B-type starch granules. We have recently identified a gene, dubbed BGC1, responsible for B-type starch granule production in wheat. The phenotype associated with mutations in BGC1 varies according to the dosage of the mutant gene. Partial mutants have reduced or no B-type starch granules whilst full mutants have very disrupted, polymorphous starch granules. These new wheat starch types have not been described previously in wheat and we will assess their functionality in baking and other end-user trials. • We published the identification of three yellow rust resistance genes (Yr7, Yr5 and YrSP) from bread wheat. These genes provide resistance/immunity to yellow rust across the life cycle of the plant and are the first three immune receptors of their type to be identified in polyploid wheat. By characterising the three genes, we resolved their relationship, a 45-year question in the field. We showed that Yr5 and YrSP are two alleles/versions of the same genes, whereas Yr7 is a closely related copy (paralog) ofYr5/YrSP. All three immune receptors share the presence of an 'integrated domain'. This work suggests that different pathogen recognition specificities could be engineered through genome editing of these novel gene architectures. • In collaboration with JIC colleagues, we are seeking authority to investigate the effects of over-expressing a wheat vacuolar transporter gene, TaVIT2, in the endosperm of wheat plants in the field. We will aim to address if over-expression of TaVIT2 leads to increased iron accumulation in the white flour (endosperm) in field grown plants (i.e. as seen in greenhouse/controlled environment conditions) and if there are any differences in agronomic performance between the different lines. • DFW researchers from JIC collaborated with researchers in the University of Queensland and The Plant Breeding Institute, Australia to develop protocols for rapid generation advancement, dubbed 'speed breeding', in wheat. By manipulating the light regime, we were able to achieve significantly accelerated generation times (at least twice as fast) for a large range of crop plants (wheat, barley, rapeseed, pea, chickpea, and grass pea) and their wild model relatives (Brachypodium and Medicago). We demonstrated that speed breeding can be carried out in glasshouses fitted with supplementary light, in commercially available controlled environment rooms, and in a cost effective home-made LED lit growth room. Importantly, we showed that the speed breeding conditions permit a faithful study of a range of adult plant phenotypes, and allow the plants to be crossed with comparable efficiencies to glasshouse grown plants. • We have previously developed fast and efficient methods for gene discovery and cloning by forward genetics. These mutational genomics' approaches, however, typically require the prior genetic structuring of the gene of interest followed by the generation and screening of large mutant populations. Such laboratory-based genetic structuring is impractical for most undomesticated germplasm. We solved this problem by taking advantage of the naturally occurring historical recombination events and mutations accumulated in a genetically diverse panel of 151 Aegilops tauschii accessions. By coupling association genetics to gene capture, we rapidly re-cloned stem rust (Sr) resistance genes Sr33 and Sr45, and cloned Sr46 and SrTA1662. We have since enlarged the panel to 260 accessions and performed whole genome sequencing on each accession to permit unbiased gene discovery and cloning by association genetics (www.openwildwheat.org). The above techniques are being widely applied by the community to a range of Triticeae crop plants and their wild relatives, helping to fuel an exponential rise in cloned genes. • We have developed a new wheat genomics resource at JIC by sequencing a gamma-irradiated population of the UK wheat cultivar Paragon. This resource will enable researchers to identify lines carrying deletions across specific regions of interest. This should allow them to test the function of gene clusters and also explore gene function for candidate genes within genetic intervals which define important agronomic traits. • We have used this new resource to study the genetic control of wheat interaction with a major plant pathogen, Fusarium head blight (FHB). We have identified a region on chromosome 4D of wheat that enhances susceptibility to FHB. We have then used the Paragon gamma-irradiated population to refine the interval of interest to a region of only a few genes. Parallel to this, we identified a close by region on chromosome 4D that enhances resistance to the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) which is produced by the FHB pathogen. Again, using the genomics resources mentioned above, we have identified candidate genes. We are currently testing the function of these susceptibility and resistance candidate genes using TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes) mutant lines previously developed in the UK. • Wheat blast is a newly emerging threat to wheat production in warmer parts of the world, including major breadbasket regions such as India. We used the Aegilops tauschii accessions panel mentioned above to identify the first resistance gene (Rwt4) against the wheat blast pathogen. • We recently detected a global downregulation of an array of nuclear-encoded chloroplast-linked genes during yellow rust infection in wheat. We analysed a number of independent double TILLING mutants for several of these genes and have shown that they play a key function in enabling disease progression in wheat. Mutant lines display a severe reduction in disease symptoms for wheat yellow and stem rust. • Capitalising on advances in sequencing technology we developed MARPLE (Mobile And Real-time PLant disEase) diagnostics, a genotyping platform using novel Nanopore sequence technology for rapid diagnostics and surveillance of complex fungal pathogens in situ. Our partnership (JIC, CIMMYT and EIAR), together with integration of the system with disease forecasting programmes, has positioned Ethiopia as a world leader in pathogen diagnostics and forecasting. Generating results within 48 hours of field sampling, this new strategy will have far-reaching implications for how plant health threats are identified and tracked into the future. • We have established the first survey of common barberry for rust infection across the UK. Stem and yellow rust pathogens require two hosts to complete their life cycles, undertaking asexual reproduction on cereals and sexual reproduction on Berberis (including Mahonia), where recombination can lead to emergence of novel genotypes. Eradication of common barberry (B. vulgaris) in the UK drove stem rust to almost complete extinction. However, over the past decade, barberry planting has reinitiated and is advancing in many major wheat growing regions. Our initial analysis of >100 rust-infected barberry samples indicate that wheat stem rust is present in many locations across the UK. With the threat of stem rust re-emerging, our research is generating key information regarding the role of barberry in the wheat rust life cycle that we will integrate into disease risk models in future.
Exploitation Route	We are working with WP3 and the Breeder's Toolkit to ensure that key findings are being taken forward. Many of the key findings above have collaborative components with industry to ensure rapid uptake of the results.
Sectors	Agriculture, Food and Drink,Environment,Retail
URL	https://designingfuturewheat.org.uk/

Description	The ISP is in its second year and as such the finding are currently being taken up by breeders and industry. We have had several in depth meeting with representatives of the major UK and European breeding companies to discuss the latest developments and germplasm which will become available over the next few years. To ensure that findings are translated into outcomes we work with breeders to develop markers for selection and also transfer pre-breeding germplasm which they can take forward without the need for extensive preliminary work for evaluation. We constantly engage with other actors in the agricultural, food and drinks industry to make them aware of our current advances and identify opportunities. We expect that several of the key findings reported in the previous section will be taken up in different forms by industry. • We are selecting TILLING mutants of Cadenza that lack or have reduced numbers of B-type starch granules. We will test the functional properties and agronomic performance of these novel B-granule less wheat. We are working with a consortium of end-users through our current BBSRC Follow-on-Fund project to test the best routes to commercialization for B-less wheat. A modification to our published patent on modification of starch in wheat, based on the BGC1 gene was submitted. • We have generated molecular markers for all three cloned yellow rust resistance genes. This allows breeders to select for the resistance allele using marker assisted selection. Markers have also been made available to the international community through https://maswheat.ucdavis.edu/. • We have made all speed breeding protocols open access. Before publication, the protocols were requested by colleagues in academia (n=24) and industry (n=10) form 15 different countries. • We have made all sequence data for the Ae. tauschii accessions available through the DFW Grassroot Genomics portal. • We are developing markers to permit plant breeders to introduce wheat lines deleted in the Fusarium head blight (FHB) susceptibility factor as a rapid method for improving FHB resistance in wheat. • We have developed KASP markers to enable plant breeders to follow the Rwt4 blast resistance gene in their materials. • We have a large collection of RNA-Seq expression data that has been analysed to identify genes that differ in expression between cultivars with differing levels of susceptibility to wheat yellow rust. We are now discussing with breeders to see how these gene expression markers could be utilized. • We have developed KASP markers for the major genetic groups of wheat yellow rust that are now being trialled by breeders. • MARPLE diagnostics, Capacity building in Ethiopia: Our partnership with CIMMYT and EIAR has achieved significant impact, that includes: (i) Secondment of an EIAR scientist to JIC for in-depth training in MARPLE diagnostics, providing extensive skills and knowledge in this area that is currently being transferred to researchers in-country. (ii) Wider training of EIAR scientists by JIC in September 2018 at EIAR Holeta offered knowledge and capacity building in mobile sequencing capability. CIMMYT and EIAR now have a nanopore sequencer and the capability to utilise it in-country. Further, structured, in-country, training events are planned for 2019. (iii) EIAR Holeta is now a model "hub" that will be replicated in 2019 in three further locations in Ethiopia (led by EIAR scientists) to provide rapid diagnostic capacity throughout the main wheat growing regions and permit sentinel monitoring of yellow rust races on an annual basis. Through this project, Ethiopia has now become the lead nation in Africa with a robust, rapid monitoring system for important transboundary diseases. Having accurate and rapid yellow rust diagnostics will benefit not only 5 million wheat-dependent farming families in country, but also wheat farmers in the entire region.

Title	Wheat Expression
Description	The majority of RNA-seq expression studies in plants remain underutilised and inaccessible due to the use of disparate transcriptome references and the lack of skills and resources to analyse and visualise this data. We have developed expVIP, an expression Visualisation and Integration Platform, which allows easy analysis of RNA-seq data combined with an intuitive and interactive interface. Users can analyse public and user-specified datasets with minimal bioinformatics knowledge using the expVIP virtual machine. This generates a custom web browser to visualise, sort and filter the RNA-seq data and provides outputs for differential gene expression analysis. We demonstrate expVIP's suitability for polyploid crops and evaluate its performance across a range of biologically-relevant scenarios. To exemplify its use in crop research we developed a flexible wheat expression browser (www.wheat-expression.com) which can be expanded with user-generated data in a local virtual machine environment. The open-access expVIP platform will facilitate the analysis of gene expression data from a wide variety of species by enabling the easy integration, visualisation and comparison of RNA-seq data across experiments.

Title	Wheat Training
Description	This website provides background information and practical resources to help both budding wheat scientists as well as researchers looking to expand their work into wheat. There is a need to improve crops to feed the world's growing population with the backdrop of climate change. Translation of fundamental plant biology research (e.g. from Arabidopsis thaliana) into crops such as wheat provides a potential route to deal with this challenge. However learning even simple tasks such as growing and crossing wheat plants requires time and effort, while material and methods sections in published articles are often short and cannot substitute teaching aids. This is also true for more complex topics such as the genomics aspect of wheat.

PI Contribution	We conceived and founded the Open Wild Wheat Consortium, drafted grant proposals, obtained and managed pledges for funds from consortium members (private and public), designed and published the OWWC website, configured the Aegilops tauschii panel, extracted DNA, bulked up seed, distributed seed to >10 collaborators/members, sent DNA for whole genome shotgun sequencing, made raw data available through Grassroots Repository (in collaboration with Earlham Institute), generated draft assemblies of core accessions (in collaboration with CLC), establised whole genome shotgun k-mer-based association genetics pipeline, generated phenotypes for wheat blast (in collaboration with Paul Nicholson) and wheat rusts (in collaboration with Brian Steffenson, Xianming Chen and Jim Kolmer) and drafted manuscript synopsis.
Collaborator Contribution	Partners provided funds for sequencing, helped to manage sequencing (Novogene), provided sequencing discount (Novogene), germplasm (KSU, NIAB, CSIRO, UC Davis), helped configure panel (KSU), helped to store and distribute seed (GRU), and contributed with phenotyping.
Impact	This project has brought together a large, international group of people with a common interest in mining wild wheat relatives for useful genetic variation. We have established the primary tools, resources, methods and pipeline to go from phenotypes in a wild wheat relative, identifying the underlying genes to studying the relevance of those genes in adapted germplasm.

Results and Impact	Pathogenomics workshop outline: Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies have provided new opportunities to integrate high-resolution genotype data into pathogen population studies. In this workshop, we will cover some of the bioinformatics analysis incorporated into the newly developed "Field Pathogenomics" technique. This approach utilizes next-generation sequence data to accelerate pathogen diagnostics, whilst providing detailed genotypic sub-structure of pathogen populations at an unprecedented resolution. Using next-generation sequence data generated from a selection of wheat yellow rust isolates, participants will determine how related they are to each other. To this aim, they will work stepwise through a series of exercises that will include (1) QC analysis of next-generation sequence data, (2) sequence alignments, (3) SNP calling, and (4) phylogenetic analysis. At the completion of the workshop participants will be familiar with next-generation sequence data and its potential for performing high-resolution population analyses.
