Hundreds of experiments involving genotyping and phenotyping of the plants are planned daily by plant researchers worldwide for wheat improvement. There are a plethora of molecular markers available that are being widely used in wheat genetic studies but have their own limitations. Developments in the areas of next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics applications have aided in the development of SNP-based markers. SNP-based assays have revolutionized the method of genotyping as these…

Identification and Validation of High LD Hotspot Genomic Regions Harboring Stem Rust Resistant Genes on 1B, 2A (Sr38), and 7B Chromosomes in Wheat
TLDR
To select the most promising stem rust resistant genotypes, a new approach was suggested based on four criteria including, phenotypic selection, number of resistant allele(s), the genetic distance among the selected parents, and number of the different resistant alle(s) in the candidate crosses.
Identification of a novel major QTL from Chinese wheat cultivar Ji5265 for Fusarium head blight resistance in greenhouse.
KEY MESSAGE A novel major QTL for FHB resistance was mapped to a 6.8 Mb region on chromosome 2D in a Chinese wheat cultivar Ji5265, and diagnostic KASP markers were developed for detecting it in a…
Modified “Allele-Specific qPCR” Method for SNP Genotyping Based on FRET
TLDR
The proposed ASQ method is advanced in providing a very clear and effective measurement of the fluorescence emitted, with very low signal background-noise, and simple procedures convenient for customized modifications and adjustments, and is estimated as two- to ten-fold cheaper than Amplifluor and KASP.
TaDrAp1 and TaDrAp2, Partner Genes of a Transcription Repressor, Coordinate Plant Development and Drought Tolerance in Spelt and Bread Wheat
TLDR
Drought caused changes in the expression of both TaDrAp1 and TaDr Ap2 genes in opposite directions, effectively increasing expression in lower yielding cultivars, indicating an important regulatory role in plant growth, ontogenesis, and drought tolerance in bread and spelt wheat.
Combination of Marker-Assisted Backcross Selection of Yr59 and Phenotypic Selection to Improve Stripe Rust Resistance and Agronomic Performance in Four Elite Wheat Cultivars
