  • Durum wheat mini core germplasm set was developed based on agronomic and grain quality traits
  • QTLs for grain Iron and Zinc were mapped in Sorghum
  • QTLs for tan spot resistance were identified through GWAS mapping in South Asian and CIMMYT wheat germplasm
  • QTLs for spot blotch resistance were identified through GWAS mapping in Afghan wheat germplasm
