Molecular markers such as RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, CAPS, DArT, SSR, SNP, etc. have been
widely used in wheat genetic studies but have their own limitations. More recent types of …

In the past two decades, the wheat community has made remarkable progress in developing
molecular resources for breeding. A wide variety of molecular tools has been established to …

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a selection method for improving agriculturally essential
traits in wheat. MAS allows efficient screening of difficult-to-phenotype traits, introgression of …

Wheat improvement has traditionally been conducted by relying on artificial crossing of
suitable parental lines followed by selection of the best genetic combinations. At the same …

New biotechnologies presently emanating from developments in genetics, tissue culture and
molecular biology can increase the efficiency of wheat breeding by providing new insights …

Introduction Identification of stable major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield-related traits is
important for yield potential improvement in wheat breeding. Methods In the present study …

Genetic diversity is crucial for successful adaptation and sustained improvement in crops.
India is bestowed with diverse agro-climatic conditions which makes it rich in wheat …

This paper discusses how genetic and genomic tools may be used to understand the
genetical and molecular control of cereal quality and to develop tools for its manipulation by …

Wheat is an essential constituent of cereal-based diets, and one of the most significant
sources of calories. However, modern wheat varieties are low in proteins and minerals …

Background and objectives Wheat (Triticum spp. L.) is a leading cereal contributing to the
nourishment of humankind. Since its domestication ca. 12,000 years ago, humans have …
