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 …

Total spikelet number per spike (TSS) is one of the key components of grain yield in wheat.
Chromosome (chr.) 2D contains numerous genes that control TSS. In this study, we …

Spikelet number per spike (SNS) is the primary factor that determines wheat yield. Common
wheat breeding reduces the genetic diversity among elite germplasm resources, leading to …

Abstract Key message Six major QTLs for wheat grain size and weight were identified on
chromosomes 4A, 4B, 5A and 6A across multiple environments, and were validated in …

A set of 142 winter wheat recombinant inbred lines (RILs) deriving from the cross
Heshangmai× Yu8679 were tried in four ecological environments during the seasons 2006 …

Background Grain number per spike (GNS) is a pivotal determinant of grain yield in wheat.
Pubing 3228 (PB3228), a wheat-Agropyron cristatum germplasm, exhibits a notably higher …

Grain yield is a quantitatively inherited complex trait that is strongly influenced by interacting
genetic and environmental factors. The identification of major quantitative trait loci (QTL) for …

As an important component, 1,000 kernel weight (TKW) plays a significant role in the
formation of yield traits of wheat. Kernel size is significantly positively correlated to TKW …

Key message We identified four chromosome regions harboring QTL for grain yield-related
traits, and breeder-friendly KASP markers were developed and validated for marker-assisted …

Einkorn wheat is a diploid (AmAm genome) and is the first cultivated crop that initiated
agriculture. It is related to durum and bread wheat, and it harbours unique genes that can be …
