Climate change during the last 40 years has had a serious impact on agriculture and
threatens global food and nutritional security. From over half a million plant species, cereals …

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 …

Wheat production and productivity in the past witnessed a remarkable growth. However, this
growth rate could not be sustained during the last decade, causing concern among world …

With 2 figures and 2 tables Abstract Pulses are important sources of proteins in vegetarian
diet. However, genetic improvement in production and productivity of pulse crops has been …

Advancement in the field of genetics and genomics after the discovery of Mendel's laws of
inheritance has led to map the genes controlling qualitative and quantitative traits in crop …

Grain protein content (GPC) in wheat has been a major trait of interest for breeders since it
has enormous end use potential. In the present study, marker-assisted backcrossing …

In bread wheat, high grain protein content (GPC) determines nutritional value, processing
properties and quality of the end-product. In view of this, marker-assisted selection (MAS) …

Marker-assisted backcross breeding enables selective insertion of targeted traits into the
genome to improve yield, quality, and stress resistance in wheat. In the current investigation …

Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) contributes substantially to global food and nutritional
security. Thus, an important goal of wheat breeding is to develop high-yielding varieties with …

Drought stress is presently a major productivity limiting factor in wheat. This study developed
five wheat lines with inbuilt tolerance to drought stress using marker‐assisted backcross …
