Improving crops yield under water-limited conditions is the most daunting challenge faced
by breeders. To this end, accurate, relevant phenoty** plays an increasingly pivotal role …

Drought and salinity are the major abiotic stresses that dramatically threaten the food supply
in the world. Tribe Triticeae, including wheat and barley, possesses tremendous potential for …

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 …

Micronutrient malnutrition, and particularly deficiency in zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), afflicts over
three billion people worldwide, and nearly half of the world's cereal-growing area is affected …

Drought is the major factor limiting wheat productivity worldwide. The gene pool of wild
emmer wheat, Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, harbours a rich allelic repertoire for …

The considerable drought tolerance of wild cereal crop progenitors has diminished during
domestication in the pursuit of higher productivity. Regaining this trait in cereal crops is …

Introduction Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), are prevalent in a
large part of the human population across the world, especially in children below 5 years of …

Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) is considered a promising source for
improving stress resistances in domesticated wheat. Here we explored the potential of …

Abstract Background and Aims Micronutrient malnutrition, particularly zinc and iron
deficiency, afflicts over three billion people worldwide due to low dietary intake. In the …

Understanding the evolutionary history of crop plants is fundamental to our understanding of
their respective adaptation profiles, which in turn, is a key element in securing future yield …
