Extreme weather including heat waves and drought episodes are expected to increase in
intensity and duration due to climate change. Wheat, being a major crop is under extreme …

Polypoid species play significant roles in agriculture and food production. Many crop
species are polyploid, such as potato, wheat, strawberry, and sugarcane. Genoty** has …

The great efforts spent in the maintenance of past diversity in genebanks are rationalized by
the potential role of plant genetic resources (PGR) in future crop improvement—a concept …

Key message Through genome-wide association study, loci for grain yield and yield
components were identified in chromosomes 5A and 6A in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) …

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 The number of SNPs required for QTL discovery is justified by the distance at
which linkage disequilibrium has decayed. Simulations and real potato SNP data showed …

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphic (SNP), the two most
robust markers for identifying rice varieties were compared for assessment of genetic …

Background: Genetic diversity is an essential resource for breeders to improve new cultivars
with desirable characteristics. Recently, genoty**-by-sequencing (GBS), a next …

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

Degraded DNA from suboptimal field sampling is common in molecular ecology. However,
its impact on techniques that use restriction site associated next‐generation DNA …
