Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Genome-wide association mapping as well as marker- and haplotype-based genome-wide selection unraveled a complex genetic architecture of grain yield with absence of large effect QTL and presence of local epistatic effects. The genetic architecture of grain yield determines to a large extent the optimum design of genomic-assisted wheat breeding programs. The main goal of our study was to examine the...
