Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Kernel number per spike (KNS) and spike length (SL) are important spike-related traits in wheat variety improvement. Discovering genetic loci controlling these traits is necessary to elucidate the genetic basis of wheat yield traits and is very important for marker-assisted selection breeding. RESULTS: In the present study, we used a recombinant inbred line population with 248 lines derived from the...
