Hundreds of experiments involving genotyping and phenotyping of the plants are planned
daily by plant researchers worldwide for wheat improvement. There are a plethora of …

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 Major and environmentally stable QTL for flag leaf-related traits in wheat were
identified and validated across ten environments using six populations with different genetic …

Key message Three pleiotropic QTL regions associated with spikelet number and heading
date were identified, with FT-A1 considered the candidate gene for QTspn/Hd. cau-7A …

Key message A novel, stably expressed, and plant height-independent QTL for spike
extension length on 5AS was identified and validated in different populations using a newly …

Key Message A novel and major QTL for the effective tiller number was identified on
chromosomal arm 1BL and validated in two genetic backgrounds Abstract The effective tiller …

Flag leaves, plant height (PH), and spike-related traits are key determinants contributing to
yield potential in wheat. In this study, we developed a recombinant inbred line (RIL) …

Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses affecting wheat growth. Evaluation of a
structured population over seasons and moisture conditions allow for the detection of genes …

Spike density (SD), an important spike morphological trait associated with wheat yield, is the
spikelet number per spike (SNS) divided by spike length (SL). In this study, phenotypic data …

A completely developed and vigorous root system can provide a stable platform for
aboveground plant organs. To identify loci controlling root traits that could be used in wheat …
