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 …

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 …

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) …

Background Identification of loci for grain yield (GY) and related traits, and dissection of the
genetic architecture are important for yield improvement through marker-assisted selection …

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 …

Understanding extreme weather impacts on staple crops such as wheat is vital for creating
adaptation strategies and increasing food security, especially in dryland crop** systems …

Key message Based on the large-scale integration of meta-QTL and Genome-Wide
Association Study, 76 high-confidence MQTL regions and 237 candidate genes that affected …

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 …

Identification of genes for yield components, plant height (PH), and yield-related
physiological traits and tightly linked molecular markers is of great importance in marker …

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 …
