There is a growing need for developing high-throughput tools for crop phenotyping that would increase the rate of genetic improvement. In most cases, the indicators used for this purpose are related with canopy structure (often acquired with RGB cameras and multispectral sensors allowing the calculation of NDVI), but using approaches related with the crop physiology are rare. High-resolution hy...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were undertaken to identify SNP markers associated with yield and yield-related traits in 123 Pakistani historical wheat cultivars evaluated during 2011-2014 seasons under rainfed field conditions. The population was genotyped by using high-density Illumina iSelect 90K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assay, and finally 14,960 high quality SNPs were us...

Ten elite wheat inbred lines / cultivars were tested for grain yield stability at five different locations under the rainfed conditions in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. These inbred lines were exposed to different soil types, soil fertility, moisture levels and temperatures. GxE interaction mean squares were highly significant for grain yield. The overall mean grain yield perfor...
