Climate change is a major threat to most of the agricultural crops grown in tropical and sub-
tropical areas globally. Drought stress is one of the consequences of climate change that …

Crop yields need to be improved in a sustainable manner to meet the expected worldwide
increase in population over the coming decades as well as the effects of anticipated climate …

Heat stress (HS) is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the production and quality of
wheat. Rising temperatures are particularly threatening to wheat production. A detailed …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effectively applied to detect the marker trait
associations (MTAs) using whole genome-wide variants for complex quantitative traits in …

This brief historical review focuses on durum wheat domestication and breeding in the
Mediterranean region. Important milestones in durum wheat breeding programs across the …

In wheat, a meta-analysis was performed using previously identified QTLs associated with
drought stress (DS), heat stress (HS), salinity stress (SS), water-logging stress (WS), pre …

High yield and wide adaptation are principal targets of wheat breeding but are hindered by
limited knowledge on genetic basis of agronomic traits and abiotic stress tolerances. In this …

Among cereal crops, wheat has been identified as a major source for human food
consumption. Wheat breeders require access to new genetic diversity resources to satisfy …

Drought adversely affects crop growth, development and yield. This study assessed genetic
variation in a panel of wheat lines to water deficit and identified the QTLs governing this …

One of the major challenges for plant scientists is increasing wheat (Triticum aestivum) yield
potential (YP). A significant bottleneck for increasing YP is achieving increased biomass …
