Durum wheat is one of the most important cultivated cereal crops, providing nutrients to
humans and domestic animals. Durum breeding programs prioritize the improvement of its …

In recent years, many efforts have been conducted to dissect the genetic basis of yield and
yield components in durum wheat thanks to linkage mapping and genome-wide association …

Key message Based on the large-scale integration of meta-QTL and Genome-Wide
Association Study, 76 high-confidence MQTL regions and 237 candidate genes that affected …

Main conclusion Meta-analysis in wheat for three major quality traits identified 110 meta-
QTL (MQTL) with reduced confidence interval (CI). Five GWAS validated MQTL (viz., 1A. 1 …

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 …

Free amino acids are one of the main chemical components in tea, and they contribute to the
pleasant flavor, function, and quality of tea, notably the level of theanine. Here, a high …

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 …

Abstract In wheat, meta-QTLs (MQTLs) and candidate genes (CGs) were identified for
multiple disease resistance (MDR). For this purpose, information was collected from 58 …

Background Yellow or stripe rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is
an important disease of wheat that threatens wheat production. Since developing resistant …

A meta-analysis of QTLs associated with grain protein content (GPC) was conducted in
hexaploid and tetraploid wheat to identify robust and stable meta-QTLs (MQTLs). For this …
