Paper Summary

Alien genes from Secale cereale can be used to improve wheat by transferring them to widen genetic diversity, enhance yield, quality, resistance, and adaptability. The progress in transferring these genes and identifying gene resources from Secale cereale has been reviewed to promote their use in wheat breeding.
