Abstract The Pannonian Plain, as the most productive region of Southeast Europe, has a
long tradition of agronomic production as well as agronomic research and plant breeding …

Early vigour is an important physiological trait to improve establishment, water-use
efficiency, and grain yield for wheat. Phenotyping large numbers of lines is challenging due …

Plant genetic resources are a link between agriculture, environment and trade, so their
conservation requires cooperation from different sectors. The existing diversity in genetic …

Genetic diversity is fundamental for conducting successful crop improvement programs. The
objectives of this study were to assess the genetic diversity and to deduce the population …

Genetic analyses and association mapping were performed on a winter wheat core
collection of 96 accessions sampled from a variety of geographic origins. Twenty-four …

The cultivated potato Solanum tuberosum is unrivalled among crop plants for its wild
relatives, which potentially represent an important source of genetic diversity to improve the …

Durum wheat is a staple food in the Mediterranean Basin, mostly cultivated under rainfed
conditions. As such, the crop is often exposed to moisture stress. Therefore, the identification …

Six durum and twelve bread wheat genotypes were evaluated under favorable and drought-
stressed field conditions, and screened with thirty simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers …

Drought is a major abiotic stress that severely limits sustainable wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
productivity via morphological and physio-biochemical alterations of cellular processes. The …

Because of its wide geographical adaptation and importance in human nutrition, wheat is
one of the most important crops in the world. However, wheat yield has reduced due to …
