Genome-wide insights into seed morphometry and breeding ideotypes in durum wheat

Durum wheat ( Triticum turgidum ssp. durum ) is a staple cereal crop that is widely cultivated in the Mediterranean and semi-arid areas. The morphology of the grain plays an important role in determining yield, milling quality, and the suitability for various end-use applications...

Molecular diversity analysis and development of a core set in wheat using array-based SNP markers

Landrace collections from decades represent sources of variation for wheat improvement to address challenges from climate change and the growing human population. Repatriating wheat landraces and integrating them into modern breeding programs represents a crucial step toward rest...
