Genetic dissection of Hessian fly resistance in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using genome-wide association study in Morocco

Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Say), is an important wheat insect pest that annually results in significant production losses. In Morocco, this insect reduces wheat yields by 32–36 % during drought years. The purpose of the current study is to identify the genomic region, marker-trait associations (MTAs), and putative genes associated with the trait of hessian fly resistance in 210 bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes from the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA).
