Article
The use of pentaploid crosses for the introgression of Amblyopyrum muticum and D-genome chromosome segments into durum wheat
(Frontiers, 2019)
The wild relatives of wheat provide an important source of genetic variation for wheat improvement. Much of the work in the past aimed at transferring genetic variation from wild relatives into wheat has relied on the ...

Resistance and tolerance reactions of winter wheat lines to Heterodera filipjevi in Turkey
(Exeley, 2019)
Nematodes attack cereal crops resulting in significant yield losses, estimated at 10%. The plant parasitic nematodes of the genus Heterodera attack cereals, particularly wheat, causing costly financial losses due to impact ...

Variations in straw fodder quality and grain–Straw relationships in a mapping population of 287 diverse spring wheat lines
(Elsevier, 2019)
A wheat association mapping population consisting of 287 diverse spring wheat lines were evaluated for three years in one location (Varanasi) and out of these for one year across three locations (Karnal, Dharwad and Varanasi) ...
Article
Hydrogen peroxide prompted lignification affects pathogenicity of hemi-biotrophic pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana to wheat
(Korean Society of Plant Pathology, 2019)
Spot blotch caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana has spread to more than 9 million ha of wheat in the warm, humid areas of the Eastern Gangetic Plains (EGP) of South Asia and is a disease of major concern in other similar wheat ...
Article
Transgenic solutions to increase yield and stability in wheat: shining hope or flash in the pan?
(Oxford University Press; Society for Experimental Biology, 2019)
Second-generation transgenic crops have the potential to transform agriculture, but progress has been limited, and particularly so in wheat where no transgenic cultivar has yet been approved. Taking on the challenge, González et ...
Article
Multi-trait, multi-environment genomic prediction of durum wheat with genomic best linear unbiased predictor and deep learning methods
(Frontiers, 2019)
Although durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum Desf.) is a minor cereal crop representing just 5-7% of the world's total wheat crop, it is a staple food in Mediterranean countries, where it is used to produce pasta, ...

Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence III: benchmarking retrieval methods and sensor characteristics for proximal sensing
(MDPI, 2019)
The interest of the scientific community on the remote observation of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) has increased in the recent years. In this context, hyperspectral ground measurements play a crucial role in ...
Article
Smallholders’ coping mechanisms with wheat rust epidemics: lessons from Ethiopia
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Crops are variously susceptible to biotic stresses–something expected to increase under climate change. In the case of staple crops, this potentially undermines household and national food security. We examine recent wheat ...
Article
Deep kernel for genomic and near infrared predictions in multi-environment breeding trials
(Genetics Society of America, 2019)
Kernel methods are flexible and easy to interpret and have been successfully used in genomic-enabled prediction of various plant species. Kernel methods used in genomic prediction comprise the linear genomic best linear ...
Article
Joint use of genome, pedigree, and their interaction with environment for predicting the performance of wheat lines in new environments
(Genetics Society of America, 2019)
Genome-enabled prediction plays an essential role in wheat breeding because it has the potential to increase the rate of genetic gain relative to traditional phenotypic and pedigree-based selection. Since the performance ...
