A genetic framework underpinning salinity tolerance at reproductive stage was revealed by genome-wide SNP markers and major adaptability genes in synthetic-derived wheats, and trait-associated loci were used to predict phenotypes. Using wild relatives of crops to identify genes related to improved productivity and resilience to climate extremes is a prioritized area of crop genetic improvement. High salinity is a widespread crop production constraint, and development of salt-tolerant cultivars is a sustainable solution.

- Researchers examined the genetic diversity of 422 wheat accessions, including synthetic hexaploid wheats, spring wheat cultivars, and advanced breeding lines from Pakistan, utilizing 18,589 high-quality SNPs to analyze their genetic makeup.
- The study revealed that synthetic-derived wheats and advanced lines exhibit significant genetic diversity, with population structure analyses showing no distinct separation among the accessions.
- Selection signatures were identified in 32 unique genome regions, particularly in the B-genome, with links to important traits such as disease resistance and yield, providing insights for modern wheat breeding efforts in Pakistan.
