Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: We identified a large chromosomal deletion containing TaELF-B3 that confers early flowering in wheat. This allele has been preferred in recent wheat breeding in Japan to adapt to the environment. Heading at the appropriate time in each cultivation region can greatly contribute to stabilizing and maximizing yield. Vrn-1 and Ppd-1 are known as the major genes for vernalization requirement and...
