Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 'Apogee' has a very short life cycle among wheat cultivars (flowering 25 days after planting under a long day and without vernalization), and it is a unique genetic material that can be used to accelerate cycling breeding lines. However, little is known about the genetic basis of the super-short life of Apogee wheat. RESULTS: In this study, Apogee was crossed with a strong winter wheat cultivar...
