Abstract excerpt
Plant breeding leads to the genetic improvement of target traits by selecting a small number of genotypes from among typically large numbers of candidate genotypes after careful evaluation. In this study, we first investigated how mutations at conserved nucleotide sites normally viewed as deleterious, such as nonsynonymous sites, accumulated in a wheat, Triticum aestivum, breeding lineage. By comparing a 150 year...
