Yield under drought stress is a highly complex trait with large influence to even a minor fluctuation in the environmental conditions. Genomics-assisted breeding holds great promise for improving such complex traits more efficiently in less time, but requires markers associated with the trait of interest. In this context, a recombinant inbred line mapping population (TAG 24 × ICGV 86031) was used to identify markers associated...

Given the current water shortage in North Africa, improving water management to produce more crop per drop is vital. In addition, the introduction of drought‐tolerant, less water‐consuming crops such as quinoa is of great interest. To understand the response of quinoa to water stress in terms of biomass and grain yield under various irrigation management strategies, the SALTMED model was employed using field measurements durin...
