Scientists in Australia and China have made a breakthrough that could make wheat more resistant to the changing climate and plant diseases.

Wheat production across the globe has been negatively affected by extreme weather in recent years .

The team successfully assembled 17 strains of wheat at the genetic level, which allowed them to identify 250,000 structural variations in the genetic sequences of the wheat that regulate environmental adaptation, resistance to disease, and dietary preferences.
