Shifting the life cycle of grain crops from annual to perennial would usher in a new era of
agriculture that is more environmentally friendly, resilient to climate change, and capable of …

Tradeoffs among plant traits help maintain relative fitness under unpredictable conditions
and maximize reproductive success. However, modifying tradeoffs is a breeding challenge …

Wheat is the most widely grown crop globally, providing 20% of all human calories and
protein. Achieving step changes in genetic yield potential is crucial to ensure food security …

Summary The AGAMOUS‐LIKE6 (AGL6)‐like genes are ancient MADS‐box genes and are
functionally studied in a few model plants. The knowledge of these genes in wheat remains …

The primary goal of common wheat (T. aestivum) breeding is increasing yield without
negatively impacting the agronomic traits or product quality. Genetic approaches to improve …

Spikelet number is an important target trait for wheat yield improvement. Thus, the
identification and verification of novel quantitative trait locus (QTL)/genes controlling spikelet …

Background Kernel weight and morphology are important traits affecting cereal yields and
quality. Dissecting the genetic basis of thousand kernel weight (TKW) and its related traits is …

In recent years, many efforts have been conducted to dissect the genetic basis of yield and
yield components in durum wheat thanks to linkage mapping and genome-wide association …

Main conclusion Principal component and meta-QTL analyses identified genetic loci
affecting the trade-off of wheat grain number and size, which could provide opportunities to …

Under intense breeding, modern wheats, such as durum (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum),
are believed to have lost nutritional quality and protein content while increasing productivity …
