Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Selection has dramatically shaped genetic and phenotypic variation in bread wheat. We can assess the genomic basis of historical phenotypic changes, and the potential for future improvement, using experimental populations that attempt to undo selection through the randomizing effects of recombination. RESULTS: We bred the NIAB Diverse MAGIC multi-parent population comprising over 500 recombinant...
