Interest in breeding grain crops with improved weed suppressive ability is growing in
response to the evolution and rapid expansion of herbicide resistant populations in major …

Abstract “Conventional” and “organic” farming systems have been compared in many
studies. However, the lack of concern about the diversity of both conventional and organic …

Weeds represent a significant challenge to successful crop production. Highly effective and
sustainable weed control is required in order to meet global food demand. In this context …

Wheat occupies a principal place in the diet of humans globally, contributing more to our
daily calorie and protein intake than any other crop. For this reason, preventing weed …

Breeding for increased weed suppression would be a sustainable contribution to improved
soybean weed management, because weed infestation is a major constraint to soybean …

Key message Using phenotypic data of four biparental spring wheat populations evaluated
at multiple environments under two management systems, we discovered 152 QTL and 22 …

Weed competitiveness in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has previously been shown to be
positively associated with shoot biomass. This study evaluated the impact of increased early …

Recently, we investigated the effect of the wheat 90K single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP)
array and three gene-specific (Ppd-D1, Vrn-A1 and Rht-B1) markers on quantitative trait loci …

Both from the environmental and economical perspective, reducing the use of mineral
nitrogen and herbicides is one of the future challenges in cereal production. Growing winter …

Wheat-derived foodstuffs represent about one-fifth of the calories consumed by humans
worldwide. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops throughout …
