Comparison of Genomic Prediction Methods for Yellow, Stem, and Leaf Rust Resistance in Wheat Landraces from Afghanistan
Wheat rust diseases, including yellow rust (Yr; also known as stripe rust) caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici, leaf rust (Lr) caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. and stem rust (Sr) caused by Puccinia ...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure Analysis of Triticum aestivum L. Landrace Panel from Afghanistan
Landraces are a potential source of genetic diversity and provide useful genetic resources to cope with the current and future challenges in crop breeding. Afghanistan is located close to the centre of origin of hexaploid ...
Genome wide association mapping of stripe rust resistance in Afghan wheat landraces
Mining of new genetic resources is of paramount importance to combat the alarming spread of stripe rust disease and breakdown of major resistance genes in wheat. We conducted a genome wide association study on 352 un-utilized ...
Genotype × Environment Interaction and Identification of High Yielding Wheat Genotypes for Afghanistan
Wheat is a key cereal for human consumption in Afghanistan but has low productivity stemmed from various biotic and abiotic stresses and soil factors. To quantify the limitations to yield productivity, two sets of wheat ...
QTL mapping identifies a major locus for resistance in wheat to Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps) feeding at the vegetative growth stage
Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps Puton) is the most destructive insect pest of bread wheat and durum wheat in West and Central Asia and East Europe. Breeding for resistance at the vegetative stage of growth is vital in ...
Molecular evaluation of orphan Afghan common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) landraces collected by Dr. Kihara using single nucleotide polymorphic markers
Abstract
Background
Landraces are an important source of genetic diversity in common wheat, but archival
collections of Afghan wheat landraces remain poorly characterised. The recent development
of array based marker ...
Identification of High Yielding Wheat Genotypes through Evaluation of International Nurseries
High yielding, stable wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars are needed for the diverse environments in West Asia to improve rural livelihoods. This study was conducted to determine the performance of elite wheat breeding ...
Technical efficiency of wheat farmers and options for minimizing yield gaps in Afghanistan
Afghanistan is a net importer of wheat which is the staple food in the country. In order to improve the levels of food
sufficiency, prevailing large yield gaps in wheat need to be reduced. This study assessed the reasons/factors ...
