Allelic diversity study of functional genes in East Africa bread wheat highlights opportunities for genetic improvement

2020-05-12

Abstract excerpt

Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) is a major staple crop in East Africa (EA) providing 9% and 10% of daily calories and protein intake, respectively. However, EA countries depend on import to meet 55% of their domestic wheat supplies due to increasing demands and low domestic yields. To determine the beneficial gene pool currently exploited for wheat improvement in EA, we examined the allelic diversity of 42 genes of...
