Abstract
Wheat stands as the backbone of global food security, providing nearly 18% of dietary calories and 19% of protein. The crop faces intensifying climatic extremes, evolving pathogen pressures, resource constraints, and increasing scrutiny regarding environmental sustainability and health narratives. Sustaining genetic gain while broadening resilience and preserving end-use quality represents a defining challenge for contemporary wheat science. Despite these pressures, global wheat production and research have advanced significantly over the past two decades. This Special Issue, based on contributions from the 3rd International Wheat Congress (IWC) 2024 in Perth, Western Australia, presents original research and review articles highlighting emerging themes and advances in wheat research.
