Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effectively applied to detect the marker trait
associations (MTAs) using whole genome-wide variants for complex quantitative traits in …

Plants are exposed to increasingly severe drought events and roots play vital roles in
maintaining plant survival, growth, and reproduction. A large body of literature has …

Key message In wheat, 2852 major QTLs of 8998 QTLs available for yield and related traits
were used for meta-analysis; 141 meta-QTLs were identified, which included 13 breeder's …

In wheat, a meta-analysis was performed using previously identified QTLs associated with
drought stress (DS), heat stress (HS), salinity stress (SS), water-logging stress (WS), pre …

Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis is a robust approach for genetic dissection of complex
quantitative traits. Rice varieties adapted to non-flooded cultivation are highly desirable in …

Meta-QTL analysis for thermotolerance in wheat was conducted to identify robust meta-QTLs
(MQTLs). In this study, 441 QTLs related to 31 heat-responsive traits were projected on the …

Background Information on the nature and extent of genetic and genotype× environment
(GE) interaction is extremely rare in wheat varieties under different sowing dates. In the …

At least 75% of the world's grain production comes from the three most important cereal
crops: rice (Oryza sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum), and maize (Zea mays). However …

Grain weight is a key determinant for grain yield potential in wheat, which is highly governed
by a type of quantitative genetic basis. The identification of major quantitative trait locus …

Drought is one of the complex abiotic phenomena that limit wheat production. Improving
drought tolerance at the seedling stage is very important as it is a critical stage affecting the …
