Triticeae crops mainly include common wheat, barley, rye, oat and Triticale etc. The ever growing population requires urgent demand for the improvement of yield and quality in Triticeae crops. So breeders target for high yield and high quality. However, the increase in yield and quality is slow in recent years. One important reason for this situation is a lack of basis for genetics, cultivation and physiology. Revealing the genetic and physiological mechanisms of yield and quality is critical to the success of breeding programs in Triticeae crops.
Wheat, barley, oats and other crops will be treated as research objects. And we will focus on different genetic and physiological factors affecting yield and quality traits. We aim to lay the theoretical and technical support for breeding of Triticeae crops with high and stable yield. Therefore, methods in molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, and bioinformatics will be employed to deeply study the basis for physiology and genetics in biotic, abiotic stresses and high yield. Also, they will be used to analyse the mechanisms of yield and quality traits.
This Research Topic aims at promoting improvement of Triticeae crops, we are going to collect Original Research, Review, Methods, Mini Review, Perspective, and Opinion articles on, but not limited to, the following areas:
1. Identification and breeding utilization of Gene/QTL (stress and adaptability related traits) which have not been fully explored;
2. Mechanism of Triticeae crop yield and physiology (stress, cultivation techniques);
3. New methods and technologies for wheat crops germplasm.
Important Note: Descriptive studies that report responses of growth, yield or quality to agronomical treatments will not be considered if they do not progress physiological understanding of these responses.
