Abstract excerpt
The major wheat domestication allele Q (encoding an APETALA2 like transcription factor) is responsible for the free threshing and square-headed spikes of modern wheat. Wild type q and null q' alleles cause a reversal to the speltoid phenotype. Q pleiotropically affects additional yield and quality traits so genetic variation in Q and its interaction partners remain important for crop improvement. Here we report...
