Sumario:Wheat is an important staple food crop that underwent complex genome duplications. During domestication, genetic changes occurred, improving modern wheat, but understanding its phylogenetic history has been lacking. Mahmood and Mansoor discuss a recent publication demonstrating the evolutionary history of domesticated wheat (Triticum monococcum), providing opportunities for advancements in cereal improvement.
