Grain yield is a highly polygenic trait that is influenced by the environment and integrates
events throughout the life cycle of a plant. In wheat, the major grain yield components often …

Background: Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a worldwide devastating disease of bread
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Genetic resistance is the most effective way to control FHB and …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

INTRODUCTION Polyploidy, arising from whole-genome duplication or interspecific
hybridization, is ubiquitous across the plant and fungal kingdoms. The presence of highly …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most important crops worldwide. Given a growing
global population coupled with increasingly challenging cultivation conditions, facilitating …

Advances in genome sequencing and assembly technologies are generating many high-
quality genome sequences, but assemblies of large, repeat-rich polyploid genomes, such as …

Increasing the intrinsic nutritional quality of crops, known as biofortification, is viewed as a
sustainable approach to alleviate micronutrient deficiencies. In particular, iron deficiency …

The flowers of major cereals are arranged on reproductive branches known as spikelets,
which group together to form an inflorescence. Diversity for inflorescence architecture has …

Key message Based on the large-scale integration of meta-QTL and Genome-Wide
Association Study, 76 high-confidence MQTL regions and 237 candidate genes that affected …

It is well known that WRKY transcription factors play essential roles in plants' response to
diverse stress responses, especially to drought and salt stresses. However, a full …
