worldwide threat. High temperature is a major environmental factor limiting crop productivity …

Enhanced grain yield has been achieved in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) through
development and cultivation of superior genotypes incorporating yield-related agronomic …

Key message Through genome-wide association study, loci for grain yield and yield
components were identified in chromosomes 5A and 6A in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) …

Identification of genes for yield components, plant height (PH), and yield-related
physiological traits and tightly linked molecular markers is of great importance in marker …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

Key message A stable QTL that may be used in marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding
programs was detected for yield, yield components and drought tolerance-related traits in …

In recent years, with climate change, drought stress has been witnessed in many parts of the
world. In many irrigated regions also, shortage of water supply allows only limited irrigation …

Increasing severity of high temperature worldwide presents an alarming threat to the
humankind. As evident by massive yield losses in various food crops, the escalating adverse …

Key message The wheat association mapping initiative is appropriate for gene discovery
without the confounding effects of phenology and plant height. Abstract The wheat …

Key message GWAS on multi-environment data identified genomic regions associated with
trade-offs for grain weight and grain number. Abstract Grain yield (GY) can be dissected into …
