Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are highly versatile markers in genetic diversity analysis and plant breeding, making them widely applicable. They hold potential in lentil () breeding for genetic diversity analysis, marker-assisted selection (MAS), and linkage mapping. However, the availability and diversity of SSR markers in lentil is limited.

Numerous studies have shown that under a limited water supply, a larger root biomass is associated with an increased above-ground biomass. Root biomass, while genetically controlled, is also greatly affected by the environment with varying plasticity levels. In this context, understanding the relationship between the biomass of shoots and roots appears prudent.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study involving 189 advanced spring bread wheat lines identified specific genetic markers linked to resistance against these root diseases using Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS).
  • * The findings revealed important SNP markers on several chromosomes that can help breeders in developing new wheat varieties with enhanced resistance to these pathogens through marker-assisted selection.
