Key message This review summarizes the allelic series, effects, interactions between genes
and with the environment, for the major flowering time genes that drive phenological …

There is a pressing need to improve climate-resilient crops as a consequence of
increasingly erratic climatic behavior that threatens global food security. Current scientific …

Understanding the genetic bases of economically important traits is fundamentally important
in enhancing genetic gains in durum wheat. In this study, a durum panel of 208 lines …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is among the most stress-tolerant crops; however, not much is
known about the genetic and environmental control of metabolic adaptation of barley to …

Broadening the genetic base of crops is crucial for developing varieties to respond to global
agricultural challenges such as climate change. Here, we analysed a diverse panel of 371 …

Drought is one of the most adverse abiotic factors limiting growth and productivity of crops.
Among them is barley, ranked fourth cereal worldwide in terms of harvested acreage and …

The Spanish Barley Core Collection (SBCC) is a source of genetic variability of potential
interest for breeding, particularly for adaptation to Mediterranean environments. Two …

Landraces are considered a key element of agrobiodiversity because of their high variability
and adaptation to local environmental conditions, but at the same time, they represent a …

The climate crisis is impacting agroecosystems and threatening food security of millions of
smallholder farmers. Understanding the potential for current and future climatic adaptation of …

Abstract Key message Key QTLs were identified for P efficiency in barley. Phosphorus
efficiency and grain yield can be improved simultaneously in breeding. Abstract An …
