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 …

In the past, there have been drought events in different parts of the world, which have
negatively influenced the productivity and production of various crops including wheat …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are effectively applied to detect the marker trait
associations (MTAs) using whole genome-wide variants for complex quantitative traits in …

Introduction In climate change, breeding crop plants with improved productivity,
sustainability, and adaptability has become a daunting challenge to ensure global food …

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 …

Cereals are important crops worldwide that help meet food demands and nutritional needs.
In recent years, cereal production has been challenged globally by frequent droughts and …

Among cereal crops, wheat has been identified as a major source for human food
consumption. Wheat breeders require access to new genetic diversity resources to satisfy …

Crop yield improvement is necessary to keep pace with increasing demand for food. Due to
climatic variability, the incidence of drought stress at crop growth stages is becoming a major …

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) …
