Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research in wheat in the genomics era. The work reviewed in this article mainly covers the available information on genetics of some important quantitative traits including yield and its components, tolerance to abiotic stresses (heat, drought, salinity and pre-harvest sprouting = PHS) and biofortification (Fe/Zn and phytate contents with HarvestPlus Program) in wheat. Major emphasis is laid on the recent literature on QTL interval mapping and genome-wide association studies, giving lists of known QTL and marker-trait associations. Candidate genes for different traits and the cloned and characterized genes for yield traits along with the molecular mechanism are also described. For each trait, an account of the present status of marker-assisted selection has also been included. The details of available results have largely been presented in the form of tables; some of these tables are included as supplementary files.
