Abstract excerpt
Total spikelet number per spike (TSN) is a major component of spike architecture in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). A major and consistent quantitative trait locus (QTL) was discovered for TSN in a doubled haploid spring wheat population grown in the field over 4 years. The QTL on chromosome 7B explained up to 20.5% of phenotypic variance. In its physical interval (7B: 6.37-21.67 Mb), the gene FLOWERING LOCUS T...
