Bread wheat is not only an important cereal crop but also a model for study of an
allopolyploid plant with a large, highly repetitive genome. Advances in next-generation …

Main conclusion Principal component and meta-QTL analyses identified genetic loci
affecting the trade-off of wheat grain number and size, which could provide opportunities to …

Grain protein content (GPC) and yield are of two important traits in wheat, but their negative
correlation has hampered their simultaneous improvement in conventional breeding. Wild …

Uncovering the genetic basis of key agronomic traits, and particularly of drought tolerance,
addresses an important priority for durum wheat improvement. Here, a genome-wide …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used to dissect the complex
biosynthetic processes of plant metabolome. Most studies have used single-locus GWAS …

Grain number per spikelet (GNS) is a key determinant of grain yield in wheat. A recombinant
inbred line population comprising 300 lines was developed from a cross between a high …

Kernel size (KS) and kernel weight play a key role in wheat yield. Phenotypic data from six
environments and a Wheat55K single-nucleotide polymorphism array–based constructed …

Flag leaf serves as an essential source of assimilates during grain filling, thereby
contributing to grain yield up to 48%. Thus, high‐throughput phenotyping of flag leaves is …

Stomata are important channels for the control of gas exchange between plants and the
atmosphere. To examine the genetic architecture of wheat stomatal index, we performed a …

Wheat is one of the staple food crops. The utilization of elite genetic resources to develop
resource-efficient wheat varieties is an effective approach to deal with the challenges of …
