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 …

Hundreds of experiments involving genotyping and phenotyping of the plants are planned
daily by plant researchers worldwide for wheat improvement. There are a plethora of …

Due to the low genetic diversity in the current wheat germplasm, gene mining from wild
relatives is essential to develop new wheat cultivars that are more resilient to the changing …

Wheat pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) refers to the germination of seeds directly on the spike
due to rainy weather before harvest, which often results in yield reduction, quality …

Key message Genome-wide association study of diverse barley genotypes identified loci,
single nucleotide polymorphisms and candidate genes that control seed dormancy and …

Abstract Background Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is cultivated worldwide, and it is
essential to produce enough high-quality seeds to meet demand. Pre-harvest sprouting …

Preharvest sprouting (PHS) significantly reduces grain yield and quality. Identification of
genetic loci for PHS resistance will facilitate breeding sprouting-resistant wheat cultivars. In …

Spanish bunch groundnut varieties occupy most of the cultivated area in Asia and Africa,
and these varieties lack required 2-3 weeks of fresh seed dormancy (FSD) hampering kernel …

Abstract Pre‐harvest sprouting (PHS), germination of seeds before harvest, is a major
problem in global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production, and leads to reduced bread …
