Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

Identifying traits for improving sink strength is a bottleneck to increasing wheat yield. The
interacting processes determining sink strength and yield potential are reviewed and …

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

Wheat is an important contributor to global food security, and further improvements are
required to feed a growing human population. Functional genetics and genomics tools can …

In angiosperms, flower development requires the combined action of the transcription factor
LEAFY (LFY) and the ubiquitin ligase adaptor F-box protein, UNUSUAL FLORAL ORGANS …

Plant height is an important agronomic trait with a significant impact on grain yield, as
demonstrated by the positive effect of the REDUCED HEIGHT (RHT) dwarfing alleles …

Key message The wheat transcription factor bZIPC1 interacts with FT2 and affects spikelet
and grain number per spike. We identified a natural allele with positive effects on these two …

The spike architecture of wheat plays a crucial role in determining grain number, making it a
key trait for optimization in wheat breeding programs. In this study, we used a multi-omic …

Grain protein content (GPC) is one of the most important criteria to determine the quality of
common wheat (Triticum aestivum). One of the major obstacles for bread wheat production …

Tillering is a critical agronomic trait of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that determines the shoot
architecture and affects grain yield. TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1), encoding a …
