There is a rapidly rising trend in the development and application of molecular marker
assays for gene mapping and discovery in field crops and trees. Thus far, more than 50 SNP …

Due to an increase in the consumption of food, feed, fuel and to meet global food security
needs for the rapidly growing human population, there is a necessity to breed high yielding …

Key message We developed and validated a robust marker toolkit for high-throughput and
cost-effective screening of a large number of functional genes in wheat. Abstract Functional …

Key message Genetic atlas, reliable QTL and candidate genes of yield component traits in
wheat were figured out, laying concrete foundations for map-based gene cloning and …

Key message Current development of advanced biotechnology tools allows us to
characterize the role of key genes in plant productivity. The implementation of this …

Many approaches to engineer source strength have been proposed to enhance crop yield
potential. However, a well-co-ordinated source–sink relationship is required finally to realize …

Key message Recent technological advances in wheat genomics provide new opportunities
to uncover genetic variation in traits of breeding interest and enable genome-based …

The origin of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum; AABBDD) has been a subject of controversy
and of intense debate in the scientific community over the last few decades. In 2015, three …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were undertaken to identify SNP markers
associated with yield and yield-related traits in 123 Pakistani historical wheat cultivars …

Wheat, rice, maize, pearl millet, and sorghum provide over half of the world's food calories.
To maintain global food security, with the added challenge of climate change, there is an …
