This review article presents the greatest challenges in modern triticale breeding. Genetic
maps that were developed and described thus far, together with the quantitative trait loci and …

Genetic variation within a crop species is often limited and restricts improvement by
conventional breeding methods. This is particularly true for environmental stresses, both …

Genomics platforms offer unprecedented opportunities to identify, select and in some cases
clone the genes and the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that govern the tolerance of Triticeae to …

After a decade of genetic manipulation and improvement, triticale stand out as a crop of high
biomass and grain yield potential which generally surpass that of wheat. Its high productivity …

Background Recent advances in genotyping with high-density markers nowadays enable
genome-wide genomic analyses in crops. A detailed characterisation of the population …

Freezing tolerance of triticale is a major trait contributing to its winter hardiness. The
identification of genomic regions—quantitative trait loci (QTL) and molecular markers …

Drought, low temperature and salinity are the most important abiotic stress factors limiting
crop productivity. A genomic map of major loci and QTLs affecting stress tolerance in …

Abiotic stress experienced by autumn-sown crops during winter is of great economic
importance as it can have a severe negative impact on yield. In this study, we investigated …

Tolerance to pink snow mold caused by Microdochium nivale appears after a cold-
hardening period and it is an essential, genotype-dependent, complex quantitative trait for …

Abstract Knowledge of the extent of phenotypic variability, genetic diversity and the realized
breeding progress is central for the optimum design of breeding programmes, but little …
