Abstract excerpt
Kernel dimensions (KD) contribute greatly to thousand-kernel weight (TKW) in wheat. In the present study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for TKW, kernel length (KL), kernel width (KW) and kernel diameter ratio (KDR) were detected by both conditional and unconditional QTL mapping methods. Two related F(8:9) recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations, comprising 485 and 229 lines, respectively, were used in this...
