Breeding crop plants with increased yield potential and improved tolerance to stressful
environments is critical for global food security. Drought stress (DS) adversely affects …

Abstract In wheat, meta-QTLs (MQTLs), ortho-MQTLs, and candidate genes (CGs) were
identified for nitrogen use efficiency and root system architecture. For this purpose, 1788 …

The root tissues play important roles in water and nutrient acquisition, environmental
adaptation, and plant development. In this study, a diversity panel of 388 wheat accessions …

Background Drought is most likely the most significant abiotic stress affecting wheat yield.
The discovery of drought-tolerant genotypes is a promising strategy for dealing with the …

Drought, an ever-looming threat to agriculture, is of paramount concern in organic crop
production. The traditional methodologies employed for screening and selecting drought …

Increasing attention is paid to providing new tools to breeders for targeted breeding for
specific root traits that are beneficial in low-fertility, drying soils; however, such information is …

Wheat crop is subjected to various biotic and abiotic stresses, which affect crop productivity
and yield. Among various abiotic stresses, drought stress is a major problem considering the …

Ancient wheats may be a source of traits that are useful for the tolerance of climate change
foreseen conditions of raising temperatures and low water availability. Previous research …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops, with its grain serving
as a predominant staple food source on a global scale. However, there are many biotic and …

Identifying genomic regions for root traits in bread wheat can help breeders develop climate-
resilient and high-yielding wheat varieties with desirable root traits. This study used the …
