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...
From Dec 2-13, UNCCD COP16 in Riyadh united leaders, innovators, and ICARDA’s bold solutions to tackle desertification and protect the world’s fragile drylands.
