A genome-wide association study unveils key chromosome regions involved in determining sodium accumulation in wheat under conditions of low potassium supply.

Abstract excerpt

Improving nutrient use efficiency is an important objective in modern breeding programs. In this work, we examined potassium utilization efficiency (KUtE) and traits potentially related to it in a formerly genotyped, geographically diverse population of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) under low potassium supply conditions. Our results unveil the existence of a large variation within the population for the traits...
