Wheat is used for making many food products due to its diverse quality profile found among different wheat classes. Since laboratory analysis of these end-use traits costly and time-consuming, genetic dissection the preferential. This study a genome-wide association (GWAS) 10 traits, including kernel protein, flour yield, softness equivalence, solvent’s retention capacity, cookie diameter, top-grain, in soft red winter (SRWW) adapted US southeast. The GWAS included 266 SRWW genotypes that...
Abstract Agro‐morphological traits play a significant role in the adaptation of wheat to diverse agroecosystems. Genetic understanding these is crucial develop cultivars adapted specific environments and maximize their productivity. This comprehensive genome‐wide association study (GWAS) 230 lines soft red winter for identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related eight key agro‐morphological traits. The diversity panel was evaluated two locations three consecutive years (2020–2023). A...
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a high-value grain known for its excellent nutritional balance. It an allotetraploid species (AABB, 2n = 4x 36) formed by the hybridization between AA and BB genome diploid (2n 2x 18) species. This study reports genetic studies in Chenopodium ficifolium as potential B model system to simplify of quinoa including gene identification marker-assisted breeding.Portsmouth, New Hampshire Quebec City, accessions C. were used develop F2 population segregating...

Since laboratory analysis of these end-use traits costly and time-consuming, genetic dissection the preferential. This study a genome-wide association (GWAS) ten traits, including kernel protein, flour yield, softness equivalence, solvent’s retention capacity, cookie diameter, top-grain, in soft red winter (SRWW) adapted US southeast.

The Hessian fly (HF) is an invasive insect that has caused millions of dollars in yield losses to southeastern US wheat farms. Genetic resistance the most sustainable solution control HF. However, emerging biotypes are quickly overcoming genes southeast; therefore, identifying novel sources critical. resistant line "UGA 111729" and susceptible variety "AGS 2038" were crossbred generate a population 225 recombinant inbred lines. This was phenotyped growth chamber (GC) during 2019 2021 field...
