Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major staple food crop worldwide. Genetic dissection of
important agronomic traits is essential for continuous improvement of wheat yield to meet the …

Key message Genetic atlas, reliable QTL and candidate genes of yield component traits in
wheat were figured out, laying concrete foundations for map-based gene cloning and …

Bread wheat is a leading cereal crop worldwide. Limited amount of superior allele loci
restricted the progress of molecular improvement in wheat breeding. Here, we revealed new …

Uncovering the genetic basis of agronomic traits in wheat landraces is important for
ensuring global food security via the development of improved varieties. Here, 723 wheat …

Genome wide association study (GWAS) was conducted for 14 agronomic traits in wheat
following widely used single locus single trait (SLST) approach, and two recent approaches …

Understanding the genetic bases of economically important traits is fundamentally important
in enhancing genetic gains in durum wheat. In this study, a durum panel of 208 lines …

In crop plants, a high-density genetic linkage map is essential for both genetic and genomic
researches. The complexity and the large size of wheat genome have hampered the …

Background Large-scale genotype–phenotype association studies of crop germplasm are
important for identifying alleles associated with favorable traits. The limited number of single …

Background Identification of loci for grain yield (GY) and related traits, and dissection of the
genetic architecture are important for yield improvement through marker-assisted selection …

High-density genetic linkage maps are necessary for precisely mapping quantitative trait loci
(QTLs) controlling grain shape and size in wheat. By applying the Infinium iSelect 9K SNP …
