The rapid development and application of molecular marker assays have facilitated genomic
selection and genome‐wide linkage and association studies in wheat breeding. Although …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effectively applied to detect the marker trait
associations (MTAs) using whole genome-wide variants for complex quantitative traits in …

Floret fertility is a key determinant of the number of grains per inflorescence in cereals.
During the evolution of wheat (Triticum sp.), floret fertility has increased, such that current …

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 …

Bread wheat is a leading cereal crop worldwide. Limited amount of superior allele loci
restricted the progress of molecular improvement in wheat breeding. Here, we revealed new …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

Key message Phenotypic and genetic analysis of six spike and kernel characteristics in
wheat revealed geographic patterns as well as long-term trends arising from breeding …

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 …

The marriage of metabolomic approaches with genetic design has proven a powerful tool in
dissecting diversity in the metabolome and has additionally enhanced our understanding of …

Background Large-scale genotype–phenotype association studies of crop germplasm are
important for identifying alleles associated with favorable traits. The limited number of single …
