Plant breeding can be made more efficient by having fewer, better crosses
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background: Crop yields have to increase to provide food security for the world?s growing population. To achieve these yield increases there will have to be a significant contribution from genetic gains made by conventional ...
Article
Rapid breeding and varietal replacement are critical to adaptation of cropping systems in the developing world to climate change
(Elsevier, 2017)
Plant breeding is a key mechanism for adaptation of cropping systems to climate change. Much discussion of breeding for climate change focuses on genes with large effects on heat and drought tolerance, but phenology and ...

Molecular genetic diversity and population structure of Ethiopian white lupin landraces: implications for breeding and conservation
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
White lupin is one of the four economically important species of the Lupinus genus and is an important grain legume in the Ethiopian farming system. However, there has been limited research effort to characterize the ...

Genome wide association study of karnal bunt resistance in a wheat germplasm collection from Afghanistan
(MDPI, 2019)
Karnal bunt disease of wheat, caused by the fungus Neovossia indica, is one of the most important challenges to the grain industry as it affects the grain quality and also restricts the international movement of infected ...
Article
Breeding and genetic estimation of spring bread wheat populations of the Siberian shuttle breeding nursery of CIMMYT
(Institute of Cytology and Genetics of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2012)
Shuttle breeding contributes much to the breeding to common wheatvarieties resistantto adverse environmental factors by involving new sources of valuable biological and economical features from the world?s gene pool. ...

Genome-wide linkage mapping of QTL for yield components, plant height and yield-related physiological traits in the chinese wheat cross Zhou 8425B/Chinese spring
(Frontiers, 2015)
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-assisted selection (MAS) in wheat breeding. In ...
Article
New deep learning genomic-based prediction model for multiple traits with binary, ordinal, and continuous phenotypes
(Genetics Society of America, 2019)
Multiple-trait experiments with mixed phenotypes (binary, ordinal and continuous) are not rare in animal and plant breeding programs. However, there is a lack of statistical models that can exploit the correlation between ...
Article
A direct comparison of remote sensing approaches for high-throughput phenotyping in plant breeding
(Frontiers, 2016)
Remote sensing (RS) of plant canopies permits non-intrusive, high-throughput monitoring of plant physiological characteristics. This study compared three RS approaches using a low flying UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), with ...
Article
Highlights of special issue on “Wheat Genetics and Breeding”
(Higher Education Press, 2019)
This special issue on wheat genetics and breeding presents global progress in wheat genomics, breeding for disease resistance, as well as quality improvement, with an excellent collection of nine review articles and one ...
Article
Genetic analysis of morpho-physiological traits and yield components in F2 partial diallel crosses of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Sede Medellín), 2017)
Wheat breeding in the semi-arid region of Algeria aims to develop new cultivars combining high productivity and good abiotic stress tolerance. Therefore, it is essential to understand the mode of gene effects implicated ...
