Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: This study found that the compact spike locus of ANK-15 is on chromosome 5D instead of 2B. We have identified a new allele of AP2L-D5 as the candidate causal polymorphism. Spike architecture is a key determinant of wheat yield, a crop which supports much of the human diet but whose yield gains are stagnating. Spike architecture mutants offer opportunities to identify genetic factors contributing to...
