Description	The Breeders Toolkit has been supplied to nine commercial wheat breeding partners upon request who have conducted multi site trials of this material. The Toolkit is accompanied by molecular markers which tag the loci of interest. These resources have been used within commercial breeding programmes to introgress the new versions of genes represented in the toolkit into elite germplasm. Multiple downloads of genotypic data sets have been made on CerealsDB. Germplasm resources such as NILs, NAM populations, mutagenized lines, and lines carrying wheat wild relative segments have been requested by multiple academic and commercial partners. A new panel, upstream of the BTK, has been established. It is called the Breeders Observation Panel. NIAB, Nottingham, and JIC have contributed over 200 lines to this panel to allow proactive breeder led screening to identify new leads that will feed into the BTK. It is a sign of the maturity of WP3 germplasm development work and the Toolkit pipeline that 2 Breeders Toolkit lines are now wild relative introgressions from Ambylopyrum mutica. This represents the most challenging aspect of introgression for WP3. The Breeders toolkit committee met in February 2020 at NIAB. The Committee overseas continued multi site commercial and academic trials of the DFW Breeders Toolkit. In an anonymous survey to commercial members of the Breeders Toolkit Committee 100% of respondents stated that they are using the Breeders Toolkit within their commercial programmes and that they thought it was likely that their use of the Breeders Toolkit would have a beneficial effect on their commercial outputs. Together with WP1 we have introduced new allelic variation (alongside the perfect KASP markers) into the Breeder's Toolkit including near isogenic lines with the novel: grain length mutations, triple mutants for ARF2.1, triple mutants for GW2 and combined mutants for GW2 and the grain length effect; crop height genes; semi dwarfing alleles; increased fibre genes; and spike fertility genes. Our findings have stimulated trait prioritisation and focus for commercial and academic partners alike. We have increased the emphasis on nutritional quality and invited representatives of the National Association of British and Irish Millers as observers on the Breeders Toolkit Committee to help develop this area in line with commercial needs.

Title	Supporting data for "CropSight: a scalable and open-source information management system for distributed plant phenotyping and IoT-based crop management."
Description	High-quality plant phenotyping and climate data lay the foundation of phenotypic analysis and genotype-environment interaction, providing important evidence not only for plant scientists to understand the dynamics between crop performance, genotypes, and environmental factors, but also for agronomists and farmers to closely monitor crops in fluctuating agricultural conditions. With the rise of Internet of Things technologies (IoT) in recent years, many IoT-based remote sensing devices have been applied to plant phenotyping and crop monitoring, which are generating terabytes of biological datasets every day. However, it is still technically challenging to calibrate, annotate, and aggregate the big data effectively, especially when they were produced in multiple locations, at different scales. CropSight is a PHP and SQL based server platform, which provides automated data collation, storage, and information management through distributed IoT sensors and phenotyping workstations. It provides a two-component solution to monitor biological experiments through networked sensing devices, with interfaces specifically designed for distributed plant phenotyping and centralised data management. Data transfer and annotation are accomplished automatically though an HTTP accessible RESTful API installed on both device-side and server-side of the CropSight system, which synchronise daily representative crop growth images for visual-based crop assessment and hourly microclimate readings for GxE studies. CropSight also supports the comparison of historical and ongoing crop performance whilst different experiments are being conducted. As a scalable and open-source information management system, CropSight can be used to maintain and collate important crop performance and microclimate datasets captured by IoT sensors and distributed phenotyping installations. It provides near real-time environmental and crop growth monitoring in addition to historical and current experiment comparison through an integrated cloud-ready server system. Accessible both locally in the field through smart devices and remotely in an office using a personal computer, CropSight has been applied to field experiments of bread wheat prebreeding since 2016 and speed breeding since 2017. We believe that the CropSight system could have a significant impact on scalable plant phenotyping and IoT-style crop management to enable smart agricultural practices in the near future.

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.
