1. Current status of wheat production in China Common hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) is grown in at least 43 countries [1,2]. It provides the bulk of calories for about 40% of the global population. Wheat has been widely grown as a staple food source in China for about 4500 year...
Wheat is cultivated on more than 2.7 million hectares in Afghanistan annually, yet the country is dependent on imports to meet domestic demand. The timely estimation of domestic wheat production is highly critical to address any potential food security issues and has been identified as a priority ...
Wheat is a major food crop, with around 765 million tonnes produced globally. The largest wheat producers include the European Union, China, India, Russia, United States, Canada, Pakistan, Australia, Ukraine and Argentina. Cultivation of wheat across suc

In 2023, data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) revealed that worldwide wheat production reached a striking 786.701 million metric tons. Leading the charge in production were China, the European Union, India, and the United States, with China leading at approximately 17% of the ...
When considering global production, certain countries stand out as major contributors to the cultivation of wheat. Wheat production, totalling approximately 808 million metric tons worldwide, is particularly abundant in countries like China (138 Mt), India (108 Mt), and Russia (104 Mt) (fao.org...
In 2022, Russia emerged as the leading wheat producer in the region, generating approximately 104.2 million metric tons of grain, marking a 37% surge from the previous year. On the global stage, Russia ranks third in wheat production, trailing only behind China and India. The harvested area ...
Wheat powdery mildew is one of the most destructive diseases threatening global wheat production. The wild relatives of wheat constitute rich sources of diversity for powdery mildew resistance. Here, we report the map-based cloning of the powdery mildew resistance genePm13from the wild wheat species...
The domestication of wild emmer wheat led to the selection of modern durum wheat, grown mainly for pasta production. We describe the 10.45 gigabase (Gb) assembly of the genome of durum wheat cultivar Svevo. The assembly enabled genome-wide genetic diversity analyses revealing the changes impose...
