Abstract: | There have been many changes impacting wheat improvement since the 1996 International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center Wheat
Yield Symposium. This review highlights a few of the technological advances and impacts of new knowledge on wheat improvement
that have occurred in the past 10 years as well as on-going challenges. One of the most dramatic discoveries has been the
revelation that the genomes of graminaceous crops are complex, rapidly evolving, and heterogeneous, even within species. The
use of marker-assisted selection for improving complex traits is one of the challenges facing wheat breeders. Integration
of association analysis into conventional breeding programs is proposed as a crop improvement strategy that has the potential
to improve the efficiency of molecular breeding. |
