Two allelic variants of Pp-A3 and Pp-B1 were identified in purple durum wheat. Molecular markers at both loci were developed and validated on an independent panel, offering a breakthrough for wheat improvement. Purple wheats are a class of cereals with pigmented kernels of particular interest for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

- * Significant differences in olive traits were found among regions, and two main cultivars, Kanabisi and Kfari Baladi, were identified based on fruit color and growth habit.
- * Advanced genetic analyses revealed a high level of genetic diversity and admixture among olive accessions, suggesting important implications for conservation and management efforts for these trees.
Simultaneous improvement for GY and GPC by using GWAS and GBLUP suggested a significant application in durum wheat breeding. Despite the importance of grain protein concentration (GPC) in determining wheat quality, its negative correlation with grain yield (GY) is still one of the major challenges for breeders. Here, a durum wheat panel of 200 genotypes was evaluated for GY, GPC, and their derived indices (GPD and GYD), under eight different agronomic conditions.
