Key message The efficiency of phenotype-based assessments of plant variety protection
and registration could be improved by the integration of DNA-based testing. We review the …

Globally, two billion people suffer from micronutrient deficiencies. Cereal grains provide
more than 50% of the daily requirement of calories in human diets, but they often fail to …

Being a major staple food crop of the world, wheat provides nutritional food security to the
global populations. Heat stress is a major abiotic stress that adversely affects wheat …

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a selection method for improving agriculturally essential
traits in wheat. MAS allows efficient screening of difficult-to-phenotype traits, introgression of …

The loss of cropland soils, climate change, and population growth are directly affecting the
food supply. Given the higher incidence of salinity and extreme events, the cereal …

Background DNA marker profiles play a crucial role in the identification and registration of
germplasm, as well as in the distinctness, uniformity, and stability (DUS) testing of new plant …

Drought is a major abiotic stress that severely limits sustainable wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
productivity via morphological and physio-biochemical alterations of cellular processes. The …

This study investigated the genetic diversity of bread-wheat genotypes using canopy
reflectance-based vegetation indices (VIs) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker …

Six durum and twelve bread wheat genotypes were evaluated under favorable and drought-
stressed field conditions, and screened with thirty simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers …

Heat stress poses a significant environmental challenge that profoundly impacts wheat
productivity. It disrupts vital physiological processes such as photosynthesis, by impeding …
