Wheat (Triticum aestivum) represents about 30% of the world's cereal area, with over 220
million ha cultivated worldwide, often under abiotic stress. Wheat growth can be impaired by …

In recent years, with climate change, drought stress has been witnessed in many parts of the
world. In many irrigated regions also, shortage of water supply allows only limited irrigation …

Genomic selection applied to plant breeding enables earlier estimates of a line's
performance and significant reductions in generation interval. Several factors affecting …

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 …

The genus Triticum includes bread (Triticum aestivum) and durum wheat (Triticum durum)
and constitutes a major source for human food consumption. Drought is currently the leading …

A large proportion of the worlds' wheat growing regions suffers water and/or heat stress at
some stage during the crop growth cycle. With few exceptions, there has been no utilisation …

Background The plant cuticle is the outermost layer covering aerial tissues and is composed
of cutin and waxes. The cuticle plays an important role in protection from environmental …

Key message The wheat association mapping initiative is appropriate for gene discovery
without the confounding effects of phenology and plant height. Abstract The wheat …

Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) is an essential constituent of the global food chain. Drought stress
significantly diminished its productivity and threatened global food security. This review …

Flowering time is an important trait in wheat breeding as it affects adaptation and yield
potential. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic architecture of flowering time in …
