Genome-wide association analyses for yield and yield-related traits in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under pre-anthesis combined heat and drought stress in field conditions.

Understanding the genetic basis of heat and drought stress tolerance in wheat is prerequisite for wheat breeding program. In the present study, a wheat panel comprising of 192 elite bread wheat genotypes was phenotyped in eight environments for yield and related traits in field conditions. Four stre...
