Identification and mapping of QTLs and their corresponding candidate genes controlling high night-time temperature stress tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Abstract excerpt

With every 1°C rise in temperature, yields are predicted to decrease by 5%-6% for both cool and warm season crops, threatening food production, which should double by 2050 to meet the global demand. While high night-time temperature (HNT) stress is expected to increase due to climate change, limited information is available on the genetic control of the trait, especially in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). To...
