Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: KT1 was validated as a novel thickness QTL with major effects on wheat kernel dimensions and weight and fine mapped to a 0.04 cM interval near the chromosome-5A centromere. Kernel size, the principal grain weight determining factor of wheat and a target trait for both domestication and artificial breeding, is mainly defined by kernel length (KL), kernel width (KW) and kernel thickness (KT), of which...
