Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: This study identified and validated two QTL associated with spike fertile floret and fruiting efficiencies. They represent two new loci to use in MAS to improve wheat yield potential. The spike fruiting efficiency (FE-grains per unit spike dry weight at anthesis, GN/SDW) is a promising trait to improve wheat yield potential. It depends on fertile floret efficiency (fertile florets per unit SDW-FFE,...
