Abstract

Common wheat is an important crop for global food security and it faces stresses like pre-harvest sprouting, drought, and weeds. Developing new, stress-tolerant wheat varieties is essential and molecular marker-assisted breeding is needed. However, the complex wheat genome and quantitative traits of these stresses pose challenges. Two innovative approaches (SQV, SRV) were developed for efficient and cost-effective KASP markers. These techniques involve genotyping (S)selected NILs or RILs (Q or R) for specific traits and validation with commercial varieties (V). This approach successfully identified practical KASP markers and candidate genes for stress tolerance wheat breeding and genetic research.
