We investigate wheat evolution, genetic diversity, and disease resistance to support the development of resilient cereal cultivars for global food security.
WHY WHEAT MATTERS
Yet wheat breeding faces major challenges. We examine wheat evolution, introgression, and resistance biology to identify genetic variation that can support future wheat improvement.

Dr. Naveenkumar Athiyannan
Lab Alumni
My research stay at the Krattinger lab was the best time in my research career. It was one of the most multicultural teams I have worked with, with members from 14 countries. The lab offered strong resources and freedom for research.
Dr. Hanin Ahmed
Lab Alumni
During my PhD at KAUST, I worked on cereal genomics and population genomics. The lab provided a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment to develop skills in genomic data analysis and experimental design. This experience shaped my scientific trajectory and approach to biological questions.
Dr. Yajun Wang
Lab Alumni
My five years and nine months in the Krattinger lab were an important period. This time shaped nearly all my research accomplishments and my future career. It ultimately led me to a faculty position at CEMPS in Shanghai.
