Abstract excerpt
Spike formation rate (SR), which is based on maximum tiller number per unit area and spike number per unit area, is an important yield-related trait in wheat. Increasing the spike formation rate reduces growth competition and wastage of photosynthate from ineffective tillers. Unfortunately, research studies involving quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping for wheat spike formation rate are limited. In the present...
