Wheat Breeding through Genetic and Physical Mapping
1Department of Agricultural and Environmental Science, University of Bari Aldo Moro, 70121 Bari, Italy.
This special issue highlights advances in wheat breeding using genetic and physical mapping. Researchers identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genes for improved yield, quality, and stress resistance in wheat.
Area of Science:
- Agricultural Science
- Genetics
- Plant Biology
Background:
- Wheat is a vital global food source, facing challenges from climate change and increasing demand.
- Improving agronomic traits like yield, quality, and stress resistance is crucial for wheat production.

Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal...
