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 …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L., AABBDD, 2n= 6x= 42), which accounts for most of the
cultivated wheat crop worldwide, is a typical allohexaploid with a genome derived from three …

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 …

Major advances in wheat production are needed to address global food insecurity under
future climate conditions, such as high temperatures. The grain yield of bread wheat …

The spikelet number and heading date are two crucial and correlated traits for yield in
wheat. Here, a quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was conducted in F8 recombinant …

Key message We identified 21 new and stable QTL, and 11 QTL clusters for yield-related
traits in three bread wheat populations using the wheat 90 K SNP assay. Abstract …

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 …

Currently, international development requires innovative solutions to address imminent
challenges like climate change, unsustainable food system, food waste, energy crisis, and …

Rapid detection of allelic variation and identification of advantage haplotypes responsible
for spike related traits play a crucial role in wheat yield improvement. The released genome …

Grain length is one of the most important factors in determining wheat yield. Here, a stable
QTL for grain length was mapped on chromosome 1B in a F10 recombinant inbred lines …
