The following genes have been added to GrainGenes. All except brc5 were curated from the Catalog of Wheat Symbols for Wheat (WGC).

GrainGenes maintains an Ongoing List of updated genes from the WGC.

Visit the new navigation page for .pdfs of the full releases and supplements of the WGC.

A complete representation of the current WGC is available at Komugi Wheat Genetics Resources Database from the National BioResource Project of Japan.

New Maps February 2020
Wheat, 2013, Brittle culm maps the Brc5 (Triticum) locus in the Brittle culm gene class.
Note: This locus has been renamed 'brc5 (Triticum)' to differentiate it from the brc1 Hordeum locus, which refers to the barley 'Branched 1' gene.

• brc5 (Triticum) locus on 5A; mapping the Brc5 (Triticum) gene.

Wheat, 2012, Brittle culm maps the following loci in the Brittle culm gene class.
Note: These loci have been renamed 'brcx (Triticum)' to differentiate them from the brc1 Hordeum locus, which refers to the barley 'Branched 1' gene.

• brc1 (Triticum) locus on 6A; mapping the Brc1 (Triticum) gene.
• brc2 (Triticum) locus on 3A; mapping the Brc2 (Triticum) gene.
• brc3 (Triticum) locus on 1A; mapping the Brc3 (Triticum) gene.
