Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

Enhanced grain yield has been achieved in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) through
development and cultivation of superior genotypes incorporating yield-related agronomic …

Abstract Main conclusion Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis was done for yield-related traits in
wheat. Candidate genes were identified within the refined MQTL and further validated by …

Understanding the genetic bases of economically important traits is fundamentally important
in enhancing genetic gains in durum wheat. In this study, a durum panel of 208 lines …

In recent years, with climate change, drought stress has been witnessed in many parts of the
world. In many irrigated regions also, shortage of water supply allows only limited irrigation …

The genetic improvement of durum wheat and enhancement of plant performance often
depend on the identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) and closely linked …

Lower market prices and environmental concerns now orientate wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
breeding programs towards low input agricultural practices, and more particularly low …

A large proportion of the worlds' wheat growing regions suffers water and/or heat stress at
some stage during the crop growth cycle. With few exceptions, there has been no utilisation …

The current perspective of increasing global temperature makes heat stress as a major
threat to wheat production worldwide. In order to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

Drought is a major abiotic stress that adversely affects wheat production in many regions of
the world. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling …
