Genome wide association studies (GWAS) are important in discerning the genetic
architecture of complex traits such as biomass allocation for improving drought tolerance …

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 …

Flour colour, kernel hardness, grain protein content and wet gluten content are important
quality properties that determine end use in bread wheat. Here, a wheat 90K genotyping …

Wheat genetic improvement by integration of advanced genomic technologies is one way of
improving productivity. To facilitate the breeding of economically important traits in wheat …

Core Ideas Variations in 16 seedling traits under normal and drought conditions were
investigated. Extremely resistant and sensitive accessions were identified for future …

Stripe rust (also known as yellow rust), caused by the pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp.
tritici (Pst), is a common and serious fungal disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) …

Grain protein content (GPC) and yield are of two important traits in wheat, but their negative
correlation has hampered their simultaneous improvement in conventional breeding. Wild …

Uncovering the genetic basis of key agronomic traits, and particularly of drought tolerance,
addresses an important priority for durum wheat improvement. Here, a genome-wide …

Kernel size and shape are important parameters determining the wheat profitability, being
main determinants of yield and its technological quality. In this study, a segregating …

Plant phenotypes are the result of both genetic and environmental forces that act to
modulate trait expression. Over the last few years, numerous approaches in functional …
