The use of molecular markers has revolutionized the pace and precision of plant genetic
analysis which in turn facilitated the implementation of molecular breeding of crops. The last …

Molecular markers are widely used in plant genetic research and breeding. Single
Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are currently the marker of choice due to their large …

High‐density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping arrays are a powerful tool
for studying genomic patterns of diversity, inferring ancestral relationships between …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally important crop, accounting for 20 per cent of
the calories consumed by humans. Major efforts are underway worldwide to increase wheat …

Targeted selection and inbreeding have resulted in a lack of genetic diversity in elite
hexaploid bread wheat accessions. Reduced diversity can be a limiting factor in the …

In wheat, a lack of genetic diversity between breeding lines has been recognized as a
significant block to future yield increases. Species belonging to bread wheat's secondary …

Deployment of fast-evolving disease-resistance genes is one of the most successful
strategies used by plants to fend off pathogens 1, 2. In gene-for-gene relationships, most …

The availability of information on the genetic diversity and population structure in wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) breeding lines will help wheat breeders to better use their genetic …

Because of their abundance and their amenability to high-throughput genotyping
techniques, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are powerful tools for efficient …

We present the first results from a novel multiparent advanced generation inter‐cross
(MAGIC) population derived from four elite wheat cultivars. The large size of this MAGIC …
