Wheat is grown worldwide in diverse geographical regions, environments, and production
systems. Although many diseases and pests are known to reduce grain yield potential and …

Compared to the conventional linkage mapping, linkage disequilibrium (LD)‐mapping,
using the nonrandom associations of loci in haplotypes, is a powerful high‐resolution …

Association-based trait mapping is an innovative methodology based on linkage
disequilibrium. Studies in plants, especially in cereals, are rare. A genome-wide association …

Wheat production and productivity in the past witnessed a remarkable growth. However, this
growth rate could not be sustained during the last decade, causing concern among world …

Accelerated wheat development and deployment of high-yielding, climate resilient, and
disease resistant cultivars can contribute to enhanced food security and sustainable …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), with a large genome (16000 Mb) and high proportion (∼ 80%)
of repetitive sequences, has been a difficult crop for genomics research. However, the …

The narrow genetic base of cultivated cotton germplasm is hindering the cotton productivity
worldwide. Although potential genetic diversity exists in Gossypium genus, it is largely …

The estimated potential yield losses caused by plant pathogens is up to 16% globally and
most research in plant pathology aims to reduce yield loss in our crops directly or indirectly …

Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a serious foliar disease of wheat in
Kazakhstan with reported yield losses as high as 50% during epidemic years. Here, we …

Association mapping (AM), also known as linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping, is a viable
approach to overcome limitations of pedigree-based quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping. In …
