Improving and Maintaining Winter Hardiness and Frost Tolerance in Bread Wheat by Genomic Selection

Improving and Maintaining Winter Hardiness and Frost Tolerance in Bread Wheat by Genomic Selection

Winter hardiness is a major constraint for autumn sown crops in temperate regions, and thus an important breeding goal in the development of new winter wheat varieties. Winter hardiness is though influenced by many environmental factors rendering phenotypic selection under field conditions a difficu...
