Abstract excerpt
Genetic improvement of grain yield is always an important objective in wheat breeding. Here, a genome-wide association study was conducted to parse the complex genetic composition of yield-related traits of 105 elite wheat varieties (lines) using the Wheat 90K Illumina iSelect SNP array. Nine yield-related traits, including maximum number of shoots per square meter (MSN), effective number of spikes per square...
