Chapter
Abiotic Stresses
Abiotic stresses, such as drought and high temperature, significantly limit wheat yield globally and the intensity and frequency of these stresses are projected to increase in most wheat growing areas. Wheat b...

Lr80: A new and widely effective source of leaf rust resistance of wheat for enhancing diversity of resistance among modern cultivars
A new leaf rust resistance gene Lr80 was identified and closely linked markers were developed for its successful pyramiding with other marker-tagged genes to achieve durable control of leaf rust.

Development and molecular cytogenetic characterization of Thinopyrum bessarabicum introgression lines in hexaploid and tetraploid wheats
A variety of Thinopyrum bessarabicum introgressions in both hexaploid and tetraploid wheats were generated and characterized by molecular cytogenetic analysis. Six wheat-J genome recombinants were identified with...

Breeding Strategies for Enhanced Plant Tolerance to Heat Stress
High temperature during the reproductive period is a major limiting factor on the economic yield of crop plants. Global temperature is expected to increase 1.8–4 °C by the end of twenty-first century and impac...

Defining a Genetic Ideotype for Crop Improvement
While plant breeders traditionally base selection on phenotype, the development of genetic ideotypes can help focus the selection process. This chapter provides a road map for the establishment of a refined ge...

The genotypic and phenotypic interaction of wheat and rye storage proteins in primary triticale
The creation of new triticale germplasm from its wheat and rye progenitors is an important source of potentially beneficial alleles. This research focused on the inheritance of glutenin and secalin alleles in ...
