Genetic diversity and population structure of bread wheat varieties grown in Bulgaria based on microsatellite and phenotypic analyses

Determining the genetic diversity and population structure of the modern hexaploid wheat varieties currently grown in Bulgaria is fundamental for selection of genotypes with desirable traits resilient under climatic fluctuations and development of successful crop improvement programmes. In this stud...
