Genetic control of some plant growth characteristics of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under aluminum stress

Biomass yield is an important trait for wheat breeding programs. Enhancing the yield of the aerial components of wheat cultivars will be an integral part of future wheat improvement. Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the main factors limiting wheat growth and production in acid soils, which occur on up to 50% of the arable lands of the world especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Our objective was to identify quantitative trait loci...
