Insect Resistance
Studies to-date have shown the availability of enough genetic diversity in the wheat genetic resources (land races, wild relatives, cultivars, etc.) for resistance to the most economically important insect pests such as ...
Genetic dissection of Hessian fly resistance in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using genome-wide association study in Morocco
Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Say), is an important wheat insect pest that annually results in significant production losses. In Morocco, this insect reduces wheat yields by 32–36 % during drought years. The ...
