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...

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...

Organic inputs and tillage differentially impact soil health and yield in rice–wheat systems in the eastern gangetic plain

The rice (Oryza sativa L.) – wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) rotation is the dominant cropping system of the Indo-Gangetic Plain and is experiencing challenges from a variety of environmental and socio-economic factors. Organic matter cycling and zero-tillage (ZT) have been encourag...
