Grain yield is a trait of paramount importance in the breeding of all cereals. In wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.), yield has steadily increased since the Green Revolution, though the …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are useful to facilitate crop improvement via
enhanced knowledge of marker-trait associations (MTA). A GWAS for grain yield (GY), yield …

Inbred cultivars and advanced breeding lines have been subjected to numerous
recombination cycles, have strong allelic selection for desired traits, and share important …

Genetic improvement of grain yield is always an important objective in wheat breeding.
Here, a genome-wide association study was conducted to parse the complex genetic …

Background Wheat is a cool seasoned crop requiring low temperature during grain filling
duration and therefore increased temperature causes significant yield reduction. A set of 125 …

Key message Through genome-wide association study, loci for grain yield and yield
components were identified in chromosomes 5A and 6A in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were undertaken to identify SNP markers
associated with yield and yield-related traits in 123 Pakistani historical wheat cultivars …

Background Improving grain yield in cereals especially in wheat is a main objective for plant
breeders. One of the main constrains for improving this trait is the G× E interaction (GEI) …

Key message Using GWAS and QTL mapping identified 100 QTL and 138 SNPs, which
control yield-related traits in maize. The candidate gene GRMZM2G098557 was further …

Bread wheat is a leading cereal crop worldwide. Limited amount of superior allele loci
restricted the progress of molecular improvement in wheat breeding. Here, we revealed new …
