Abstract
The durum wheat community with the Wheat Initiative support developed genomics and pre-breeding resources to enable durum wheat to switch from ‘orphan’ to ‘crop for the future’. The modern wheat germplasm, strongly selected for yield potential, either lost or did not retain useful alleles essential in coping with abiotic and biotic stresses. On the other hand, tetraploid wheat germplasm genetic resources stored in GeneBanks are wide, highly diversified and retains a range of alleles resulting from natural- and human-driven selection under recurrent stress conditions and limited water and nutrient availability. ...I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
