Advances in Cereal Crops Breeding

<p>This Special Issue on 'Advances in Cereal Crops Breeding' comprises 10 papers covering a wide range of subjects including the expression-level investigation of genes in terms of salinity stress adaptations and their relationships with proteomics in rice the use of genetic analysis to assess the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) in promising hybrids of maize the use of DNA markers based on PCR in rice the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in wheat and simple sequence repeats (SSR) in rice the use of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in cereals and Nanopore direct RNA sequencing of related with LTR RNA retrotransposon in triticale prior to the genomic selection of heterotic maize hybrids.</p>
