Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Genetic modification of spike architecture is essential for improving wheat yield. Newly identified loci for the 'Miracle wheat' phenotype on chromosomes 1AS and 2BS have significant effects on spike traits. The wheat (Triticum ssp.) inflorescence, also known as a spike, forms an unbranched inflorescence in which the inflorescence meristem generates axillary spikelet meristems (SMs) destined to...
