Triticeae species, including wheat, barley, and rye, are critical for global food security. Mapping agronomically important genes is crucial for elucidating molecular mechanisms and improving crops. However, Triticeae includes many wild relatives with desirable agronomic traits, and frequent introgressions occurred during Triticeae evolution and domestication. Thus, Triticeae genomes are generally large and complex, making the localization of genes or functional elements that control agronomic traits challenging...
