Contribution to wheat breeding

A stagnation in global average annual wheat yields has been observed, mainly generated through commercial varieties developed by conventional breeding (Lin & Huybers, 2012). There is a need to detect variability for several traits, including the duration of phenological phases, in order to obtain wheat adapted to different agro-ecological zones and disease resistance. In this project, the phenotypic evaluation of these traits will be carried out, which in a later stage will be associated with molecular markers, since the population to be used has already been mapped in order to obtain QTL that will allow marker-assisted selection in the breeding of new cultivars.
