yield. However, rarely is leaf emergence or leaf expansion separated to resolve the relative sensitivity
to water-deficit of these two processes...
Surveying Fusarium resistance in wheat with easy applicable molecular markers such as simple
sequence repeats (SSRs) is a prerequest for molecular breeding. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are
