The extension of genetic diversity is the basis for yield and adaptability improvements of winter wheat varieties under climate fluctuations. In the present study, an international collection consisting of 96 winter bread wheat accessions from Russia, Germany, Finland, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Turkey, the USA, and the international programme (Turkey–CIMMYT–ICARDA) was analysed under the conditions of Western Siberia during three growing seasons. Yield and yield-related traits were recorded following standard agronomy practices. Genotyping of the germplasm panel was conducted using 55 KASP markers at the Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology (Kazakhstan). The yield had a high correlation with the number of fertile tillers per unit area (0.68), which indicates significant yield reduction in wheat accessions from different origins that are not adaptive to the conditions of Western Siberia. The main stable QTLs associated with yield-related traits during two growing seasons, ippb_ta_1147 (1A), ippb_ta_107 (4A), ippb_ta_239 (5D), and ippb_ta_283 (6A), can be used in MAS for the improvement of yield and related traits. The outperforming genotypes Zhiva, Zolushka, Doneko, Line K 18918, Line 2293; CO13D1299, KS13DH0030-32, Gondvana//HBK0935-29-15/KS90W077-2-2/VBF0589-1… are recommended to be included in hybridisation programmes and represent promising sources for breeding high-yielding and climate-resilient winter wheat.
