Wheat is the most important source of food, feed, and nutrition for humans and livestock
around the world. The expanding population has increasing demands for various wheat …

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 …

The genetic gain in yield and quality are two major targets of wheat breeding programs
around the world. In this study, a high density genetic map consisting of 10,172 SNP …

Grain yield and semolina quality traits are essential selection criteria in durum wheat
breeding. However, high phenotypic screening costs limit selection to relatively few …

Durum wheat [Triticum durum (Desf).] is mostly used to produce pasta, couscous, and
bulgur. The quality of the grain and end-use products determine its market value. However …

Climatic conditions affect the growth, development and final crop production. As wheat is of
paramount importance as a staple crop in the human diet, there is a growing need to study …

Identifying new QTLs and alleles in exotic germplasm is paramount for further improvement
of quality traits in wheat. In the present study, an RIL population developed from a cross of …

Gluten strength is one of the factors that determine the end-use quality of durum wheat and
is an important breeding target for this crop. To characterize the quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

Durum wheat is capable of accumulating cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, in the grain at levels
that have been deemed unsafe for human consumption. Previous studies have identified …

A set of 286 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) along with the parents and a popular wheat
variety in India were grown for two consecutive years at three locations belonging to the two …
