181 agronomic QTL were created from 354 marker-trait associations (MTAs) in Semagn et al. (2022) Genome-wide association mapping of agronomic traits and grain characteristics in spring wheat under conventional and organic management systems. Crop Science 62:1069 doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20739. MTAs within ~20MB of each other were combined into one 'QTL' for this curation.

We have added two new BLAST interface features.

1) Highlighted Selected Databases

We have added a "Selected Databases" box to more easily identify the selected databases.

2) Database Filter

There is a new Database Filter feature than helps make databases easier to find by narrowing the selection.

Links to the International Database for Barley Genes and Barley Genetic Stocks created by Udda Lundqvist and Jerry Franckowiak and currently maintained by NordGen have been updated for over 600 barley genes in GrainGenes.

Records in the Intl' Database contain a wealth of inheritance and mutation information, photos and descriptions of mutants, and comprehensive reference lists.

Example of GrainGenes records with new links are below:

Stripe rust QTL from Jambuthenne et al. (2022) Mining the Vavilov wheat diversity panel for new sources of adult plant resistance to stripe rust. TAG 135:1355 DOI 10.1007/s00122-022-04037-8.

Forty-seven independent QTL were mapped on the IWGSC v1 assembly with DArT markers, 14 of which overlapped with previously described genes. These will be added to the Strip Rust track for the IWGSC v1 browser in progress.

GWAS QTL results in the publications below will soon be aligned on the 2018 IWGSC Chinese Spring v1 wheat genome browser. In preparation for that track these QTL were curated as QTL records in the GrainGenes database with links to significant markers, associated traits, Gene Ontology links, etc. As always in GrainGenes, all significant data is linked from the reference record. See below for the upcoming browser track in progress and please do not hesitate to recommend additions to this track,

We have created two ATAC-seq tracks for leaf and root for the IWGSC Chinese Spring v1 browser.

The data were provided by the Dubcovsky Lab. The data were submitted as part of the preprint article, which is submitted to a journal.
