Improving traits in wheat has historically been challenging due to its large and polyploid
genome, limited genetic diversity and in‐field phenotyping constraints. However, within …

Wheat grown under rain-fed conditions is often affected by drought worldwide. Future
projections from a climate simulation model predict that the combined effects of increasing …

Background In wheat, the vernalization requirement is mainly controlled by the VRN genes.
Different species of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat are widely used as genetic source for …

Heading date (HD) and total spikelet number per spike (SNS) play important roles in the
yield improvement of wheat. HD often influences the formation of total spikelets. Identifying …

Flowering is central to the transformation of plants from vegetative growth to reproductive
growth. The circadian clock system enables plants to sense the changes in the external …

Diagnostic molecular markers were used to identify the genotypes by Ppd-A1, Ppd-B1, and
Ppd-D1 genes of 232 winter common wheat cultivars from different countries, including 161 …

The sequence diversity of three homoeologous copies of the PHOTOPERIOD-1 gene in
European winter wheat was analyzed by Oxford Nanopore amplicon-based multiplex …

Fine tuning wheat phenology is of paramount importance for adaptation. A better
understanding of how genetic constitution modulates the developmental responses during …

Improvement of grain yield has been the primary goal of many wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
breeding programs. Yield, nevertheless, has a complex genetic architecture which imposes …

Main conclusion The durum wheat varieties from Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan are
characterized by the specific allelic composition of the VRN genes that sharply distinguish …
