Phenotypic variation in drought response for a double-haploid population of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Genomics-Assisted Breeding for Drought Tolerance in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.): Recent Advances and Future Prospects

Overall, transcription factors from the DREB, NAC, MYB, and WRKY families are still considered the primary regulatory targets, but CRISPR/Cas-based gene editing is now able to provide precise, multiplex gene modifications in polyploid wheat.

Marker–trait associations for physiological responses to irrigation and terminal drought stress in bread wheat using SSR and iPBS markers

ASSESSMENT OF INTER-TRAIT RELATIONSHIP AND IDENTIFICATION OF KEY SELECTION TRAITS FOR DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L.) INBRED LINES UNDER WATER-STRESS CONDITIONS

Drought is a major constraint on crop production especially in maize. It significantly reduces productivity, affecting the livelihoods of millions and the overall economy. Malnutrition due to lack of essential nutrients like Vitamin A is another major challenge in many African countries. Breeding for pro-vitamin A drou...

Analysis of Genetic Variation, Correlation and Path Effects for Grain Yield Enhancement in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Rainfed and Irrigated Conditions

Drought constrains wheat productivity, making the identification of genetically variable and yield-associated traits important for selection under contrasting moisture regimes. This study evaluated 50 advanced bread wheat genotypes, including five standard checks, under rainfed and irrigated environments during the Rab...

Genome wide association mapping of yield and agro-morphological traits under drought and heat stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Assessment of gene effects for drought and yield contributing traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Drought tolerance is a polygenic character controlled by polygenes and very difficult to study the gene action by line x tester analysis for improvement of drought related traits. In this situation, the present study was conducted to identify gene effects in rice for drought and yield contributing characters under drou...
