Advances in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genetics, Genomics and Breeding: Current Status, Tools and Future Perspectives for Sustainable Food Security

Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. It supplies nearly 18–20% of global dietary calories and protein, sustaining the food security of over 2.5 billion people. Global food demand is projected to increase by 35–56% by 2050, placing...

Assessment of terminal heat stress on yield and grain parameter in wheat

Screening of wheat entries for terminal heat tolerance can be performed using yield performance along with various grain parameters including grain area, grain length, grain width, grain diameter, and grain perimeter. In the present study, adverse effect of terminal heat stress o...
