AbstractHarnessing genetic diversity in major staple crops through the development of new breeding capabilities is essential to ensure food security1. Here we examined the genetic and phenotypic diversity of the A. E. Watkins landrace collection2 of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), a major global cereal, by whole-genome re-sequencing of 827 Watkins landraces and 208 modern cultivars and in-depth field evaluation spanning a decade.

Watkins panel configurationUsing the SSR genotype data from Wingen et al. (2014) (ref. 27), a core set of 300 genetically diverse wheat landraces with spring growth habit were selected from the Watkins collection (Supplementary Fig. 1 and Supplementary Table 2) along with 20 non-Watkins lines. The DNA was extracted following a modified CTAB protocol28.
