Genome-wide association study of common resistance to rust species in tetraploid wheat
Rusts of the genus Puccinia are wheat pathogens. Stem (black; Sr), leaf (brown; Lr), and stripe (yellow; Yr) rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), Puccinia triticina (Pt), and Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), can...
Opportunities to close wheat yield gaps in Nepal’s Terai: Insights from field surveys, on-farm experiments, and simulation modeling
CONTEXT Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is among the most important staple food crops in the lowland Terai region of Nepal. However, national production has not matched the increasing demand. From a South Asian regional perspective, average...
Brassinosteroids alleviates wheat floret degeneration under low nitrogen stress by promoting the distribution of sucrose from stems to spikes
The trade-off between yield and environmental effects caused by nitrogen fertilizer application is an important issue in wheat production. A reduction in fertile florets is one of the main reasons for decreased yield under low nitrogen...
