The major abiotic and biotic stresses that adversely affect yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum
L.) include drought, heat, fusarium wilt, ascochyta blight and pod borer. Excellent progress …

The evolvement of duplicated gene loci in allopolyploid plants has become the subject of
intensive studies. Most duplicated genes remain active in neoallopolyploids contributing …

In crop plants, a high-density genetic linkage map is essential for both genetic and genomic
researches. The complexity and the large size of wheat genome have hampered the …

Consensus linkage maps are important tools in crop genomics. We have assembled a high‐
density tetraploid wheat consensus map by integrating 13 data sets from independent …

Recent advances in plant genomics and molecular biology have revolutionized our
understanding of plant genetics, providing new opportunities for more efficient and …

Background Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are providing new ways to
accelerate fine-map** and gene isolation in many species. To date, the majority of these …

Mineral nutrient malnutrition, and particularly deficiency in zinc and iron, afflicts over 3 billion
people worldwide. Wild emmer wheat, Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, genepool harbors …

Winter wheat parents 'Harry'(drought tolerant) and 'Wesley'(drought susceptible) were used
to develop a recombinant inbred population with future goals of identifying genomic regions …

Key message A novel high-density consensus wheat genetic map was obtained based on
three related RIL populations, and the important chromosomal regions affecting yield and …

Levels of genetic diversity and population genetic structure of a collection of 230 accessions
of seven tetraploid Triticum turgidum L. subspecies were investigated using six …
