Abstract excerpt
Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major staple food crop, providing a fifth of food calories and proteins to the world's human population. Despite the impressive growth in global wheat production in recent decades, further increases in grain yield are required to meet future demands. Here we estimated genetic gain and genotype stability for grain yield (GY) and determined the trait associations that...
