Conversion of SNP chip assays into locus-specific KASP markers requires adapted strategies in polyploid species with high genome homeology. Procedures are exemplified by QTL-associated SNPs hexaploid wheat. Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) commonly used marker-assisted commercial plant breeding due to their cost-effectiveness and throughput for sample volumes. However, conversion trait-linked from array-based detection technologies is particularly challenging crop species, the presence...
The incorporation of root traits into elite germplasm is typically a slow process. Thus, innovative approaches are required to accelerate research and pre-breeding programs targeting improve yield stability in different environments soil types. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) can help speed up the process by selecting key genes or quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with traits. However, this approach limited due complex genetic control number well-characterised large effect QTL....
Abstract Optimal root system architecture (RSA) is critical for efficient resource capture in soils, hence being an interest crop breeding. Seminal angle (SRA) at the seedling stage durum wheat has been suggested to be a good indicator of RSA. However, research on correlating such laboratory‐based phenotyping RSA later phases plant growth limited, resulting importance trait variation seen seedlings often overstated. To explore role SRA modifying growth, we assessed 11 genotypes contrasting...

Abstract Aims Rhizoboxes allow non-invasive phenotyping of root systems and are often used as an alternative to evaluation in the field which typically requires excavation, a laborious endeavour. Semi-automated rhizobox methods can be screen large numbers plants, but these platforms expensive due cost customised components, assembly, maintenance, limits accessibility for many researchers. To widen access method—for example preliminary screening germplasm system architecture traits—we present...
