Most of the required increases in food production over the next decades are expected to be
achieved through increases in crop yield. As wheat is essential for food security it is worrying …

We are at a pivotal time in human history, as the agricultural sector undergoes consolidation
coupled with increasing energy costs in the context of declining resource availability …

Optimal spike characteristics are critical in improving the sink capacity and yield potential of
wheat even in harsh environments. However, the genetic basis of their response to nitrogen …

Despite the importance of plant–plant interactions on crop yield and plant community
dynamics, our understanding of the genetic and molecular bases underlying natural …

Key message QTLs for kernel characteristics and tolerance to N stress were identified, and
the functions of ten known genes with regard to these traits were specified. Abstract Kernel …

This paper reviews the recent development of the scientific, legislative, economic and
environmental aspects of plant organic farming. The impact of organic farming on …

Key message Using phenotypic data of four biparental spring wheat populations evaluated
at multiple environments under two management systems, we discovered 152 QTL and 22 …

We recently reported three earliness per se quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with
flowering and maturity in a recombinant inbred lines (RILs) population derived from a cross …

Recently, we investigated the effect of the wheat 90K single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP)
array and three gene-specific (Ppd-D1, Vrn-A1 and Rht-B1) markers on quantitative trait loci …

Hundreds of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been reported in diverse types of hexaploid
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) populations, but direct comparisons of QTLs in different studies …
