Rice is the staple food for more than half of the world's population. Although rice production
has doubled in the last 30 years as a result of the development of high-yield, widely …

Wheat is an essential constituent of cereal-based diets, and one of the most significant
sources of calories. However, modern wheat varieties are low in proteins and minerals …

The genetic improvement of durum wheat and enhancement of plant performance often
depend on the identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) and closely linked …

In genome-enabled prediction, parametric, semi-parametric, and non-parametric regression
models have been used. This study assessed the predictive ability of linear and non-linear …

In wheat breeding, improved quality traits, including grain quality and dough rheological
properties, have long been a critical goal. To understand the genetic basis of key quality …

The prediction accuracies of genomic selection depend on several factors, including the
genetic architecture of target traits, the number of traits considered at a given time, and the …

Advancement in the field of genetics and genomics after the discovery of Mendel's laws of
inheritance has led to map the genes controlling qualitative and quantitative traits in crop …

Key message This study identified 333 genomic regions associated to 28 traits related to
nitrogen use efficiency in European winter wheat using genome-wide association in a 214 …

A meta-analysis of QTLs associated with grain protein content (GPC) was conducted in
hexaploid and tetraploid wheat to identify robust and stable meta-QTLs (MQTLs). For this …

Durum wheat is one of the most important cultivated cereal crops, providing nutrients to
humans and domestic animals. Durum breeding programs prioritize the improvement of its …
