Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A major and stable QTL for fertile spikelet number per spike and grain number per fertile spikelet identified in a 4.96-Mb interval on chromosome 2A was validated in different genetic backgrounds. Fertile spikelet number per spike (FSN) and grain number per fertile spikelet (GNFS) contribute greatly to wheat yield improvement. To detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with FSN and GNFS, we...
