In the context of climate change, the magnitude and frequency of temperature extremes (low
and high temperatures) are increasing worldwide. Changes to the lower extremes of …

While hybrid breeding is widely applied in outbreeding species, for many self‐pollinating
crop plants, it has only recently been established. This may have had its reason in the …

Radiant spring frosts occurring during reproductive developmental stages can result in
catastrophic yield loss for wheat producers. To better understand the spatial and temporal …

Use of genetic diversity from related wild and domesticated species has made a significant
contribution to improving wheat productivity. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (SHWs) exhibit …

Key message Commercial heterosis for grain yield is present in hybrid wheat but long-term
competiveness of hybrid versus line breeding depends on the development of heterotic …

Recent technological advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have
dramatically reduced the cost of DNA sequencing, allowing species with large and complex …

Based on data from field trials with a large collection of 135 elite winter wheat inbred lines
and 1604 F 1 hybrids derived from them, we compared the accuracy of prediction of marker …

Key message The interaction between VRN-A1 and FR-A2 largely affect the frost tolerance
of hexaploid wheat. Abstract Frost tolerance is critical for wheat survival during cold winters …

More than half a million wheat genetic resources are resting in gene banks worldwide.
Unlocking their hidden favorable genetic diversity for breeding is pivotal for enhancing grain …

Key message We show the application of association map** and genomic selection for
key breeding targets using a large panel of elite winter wheat varieties and a large volume of …
