Description
Cold-tolerant wheat for Himalayan valleys gets a genomic shopping list from Mukesh Rathore and colleagues in a 2026 breeding study. Prolonged cold in the Kashmir Valley delays wheat growth and cuts yield, so the team hunted DNA markers tied to both cold survival and productivity under cold.
A panel of 340 wheat lines carrying diversity from wild and durum relatives was grown across three temperate sites and genotyped on a 35K marker array. Association mapping found 152 stable marker-trait links, several passing strict significance thresholds, and haplotype analysis grouped them into 32 blocks where favorable versions boosted tolerance and yield together. Candidate genes inside the best intervals fit known cold-response biology. Rathore and colleagues offer the markers for breeding programs building hardier, higher-yielding wheat for rice-wheat systems.
