Climate change is a major threat to most of the agricultural crops grown in tropical and sub-
tropical areas globally. Drought stress is one of the consequences of climate change that …

Wheat production and productivity are challenged by recurrent droughts associated with
climate change globally. Drought and heat stress resilient cultivars can alleviate yield loss in …

Key message Based on the large-scale integration of meta-QTL and Genome-Wide
Association Study, 76 high-confidence MQTL regions and 237 candidate genes that affected …

Bread wheat is a leading cereal crop worldwide. Limited amount of superior allele loci
restricted the progress of molecular improvement in wheat breeding. Here, we revealed new …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

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 …

Background Improving grain yield in cereals especially in wheat is a main objective for plant
breeders. One of the main constrains for improving this trait is the G× E interaction (GEI) …

Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW; 2 n= 6 x= 42, AABBDD, Triticum aestivum L.) is produced
from an interspecific cross between durum wheat (2 n= 4 x= 28, AABB, T. turgidum L.) and …

Key message GWAS on multi-environment data identified genomic regions associated with
trade-offs for grain weight and grain number. Abstract Grain yield (GY) can be dissected into …

Background Black point is a serious threat to wheat production and can be managed by host
resistance. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has the potential to accelerate genetic …
