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 …

Agricultural production is facing serious threat from various biotic and abiotic stresses
specifically under climatic challenges. It is becoming increasingly difficult to fulfill global food …

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 is an important cereal crop constrained by several biotic and abiotic stresses
including drought stress. Understating the effect of drought stress and the genetic basis of …

Drought is a major constraint in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield. The present work
aimed to identify quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs)/candidate genes influencing drought …

Key message A novel locus for Fusarium crown rot (FCR) resistance was identified on
chromosome 1B at 641.36–645.13 Mb using GWAS and could averagely increase 39.66 …

Due to the climate change and an increased frequency of drought, it is of enormous
importance to identify and to develop traits that result in adaptation and in improvement of …

In arid and semi-arid regions, coleoptile length is a vital agronomic trait for wheat breeding.
The coleoptile length determines the maximum depth that seeds can be sown, and it is …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Here, four yield-
related traits, namely, spike length, spikelets number, tillers number, and thousand-kernel …

Wheat coleoptile is a sheath-like structure that helps to deliver the first leaf from embryo to
the soil surface. Here, a RIL population consisting of 245 lines derived from Zhou 8425B× …
