Genome-wide association mapping and genomic prediction of water deficit stress tolerance indices in spring bread wheat
Genome-wide association mapping (GWAM) is crucial for identifying the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, such as drought tolerance indices in bread wheat. This study aims to identify Marker-Trait Associations (MTAs) and genes related...
Assessment of genetic structure and trait associations of Watkins wheat landraces under Egyptian field conditions
Background: Wheat landraces represent a reservoir of genetic diversity that can support wheat improvement through breeding. A core panel of 300 Watkins wheat landraces, as well as 16 non-Watkins landraces and elite wheat cultivars, was grown...
Effects of exogenous brassinosteroids on the starch structure, physicochemical properties and digestibility of wheat under high-temperature stress at the early grain-filling stage
The starch synthesis of wheat was seriously affected by high temperature stress, which affected its yield and quality. At the same time, plant hormones are often used to regulate crop production and mitigate environmental stress in times of...
