resource-constrained agricultural production systems worldwide. Genomics-assisted …

Extreme weather including heat waves and drought episodes are expected to increase in
intensity and duration due to climate change. Wheat, being a major crop is under extreme …

Simulation and empirical studies of genomic selection (GS) show accuracies sufficient to
generate rapid genetic gains. However, with the increased popularity of GS approaches …

Background Identification of loci for grain yield (GY) and related traits, and dissection of the
genetic architecture are important for yield improvement through marker-assisted selection …

Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) are widely used in diploid species to study
complex traits in diversity and breeding populations, but GWAS software tailored to …

Brassica napus is one of the most important oil crops in the world, and stem rot caused by
the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum results in major losses in yield and quality. To elucidate …

With the availability of DNA-based molecular markers during early 1980s and that of
sophisticated statistical tools in late 1980s and later, it became possible to identify genomic …

Key message Recent technological advances in wheat genomics provide new opportunities
to uncover genetic variation in traits of breeding interest and enable genome-based …
