Genome-wide association mapping for pre-harvest sprouting in European winter wheat detects novel resistance QTL, pleiotropic effects, and structural variation in multiple genomes.

Abstract excerpt

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), germination of seeds before harvest, is a major problem in global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production, and leads to reduced bread-making quality in affected grain. Breeding for PHS resistance can prevent losses under adverse conditions. Selecting resistant lines in years lacking pre-harvest rain, requires challenging of plants in the field or in the laboratory or using genetic...
