Wheat is one of the most widely cultivated crops and, being the staple diet of more than 40
countries, it plays an imperative role in food security. Wheat has remarkable genetic …

Wheat grown under rain-fed conditions is often affected by drought worldwide. Future
projections from a climate simulation model predict that the combined effects of increasing …

The most recent version of the Catalogue, compiled for the 11Th International Wheat
Genetics Symposium held in Brisbane, Australia, and the 2009 Supplement (Annual Wheat …

The OsGS3 gene plays a principal role in controlling grain weight and grain length in rice.
However, the function of an orthologous gene TaGS in wheat has not been analyzed to date …

Background Flowering time greatly influences the adaptation of wheat cultivars to diverse
environmental conditions and is mainly controlled by vernalization and photoperiod genes …

Key message The interaction between VRN-A1 and FR-A2 largely affect the frost tolerance
of hexaploid wheat. Abstract Frost tolerance is critical for wheat survival during cold winters …

Heading date in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other small grain cereals is affected by the
vernalization and photoperiod pathways. The reduced-height loci also have an effect on …

Abstract Key message Wheat cultivar Madsen has a new gene on the short arm of
chromosome 1A and two QTL for all-stage resistance and three QTL for high-temperature …

Winter wheat requires a period of low temperatures to accelerate flowering (vernalization).
This requirement could make winter wheat more vulnerable to elevated global temperature …

The duration of the vegetative period is an important agronomic characteristic of cereal
crops. It is mainly influenced by the Vrn (response to vernalization) and Ppd (response to …
