Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), with a large genome (16000 Mb) and high proportion (∼ 80%)
of repetitive sequences, has been a difficult crop for genomics research. However, the …

Marker‐assisted breeding provides an opportunity for wheat breeders to introgress/pyramid
genes of interest into breeding lines and to identify genes and/or quantitative trait loci in …

A large proportion of the worlds' wheat growing regions suffers water and/or heat stress at
some stage during the crop growth cycle. With few exceptions, there has been no utilisation …

Stem solidness is an important agronomic trait of durum (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum)
and bread (Triticum aestivum L.) wheat that provides resistance to the wheat stem sawfly …

Insect pests cause substantial damage to wheat production in many wheat-producing areas
of the world. Amongst these, Hessian fly (HF), Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Sunn pest (SP) …

Levels of the heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in food products are a food safety concern. Grain
Cd is higher in durum (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) than in common wheat, so reduction …

This study estimated the genotype× environment interactions for ten yield associated traits in
advanced generation hybrids of several cultivars of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) …

Durum wheat landraces have a high potential for breeding but they remain underexploited
due to several factors, including the insufficient evaluation of these plant materials and the …

Doubled haploid (DH) production has become an important tool in plant breeding largely
due to its capacity to produce completely homozygous plants in one generation. Not only are …

Stem solidness is an important agronomic trait for increasing the ability of wheat to resist
lodging. In this study, four new synthetic hexaploid wheat with solid stems were developed …
