Abstract excerpt
Spike number per unit area, number of grains per spike, and thousand-kernel weight (TKW) are important yield components for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). TKW has the highest heritability among the three components. We validated 27 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci associated with TKW in an F(2:5) breeding population grown in four environments. A cfd7(8265bp) marker on chromosome 5DS showed the strongest...
