Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Specific combinations of LFY and WAPO1 natural alleles maximize spikelet number per spike in wheat. Spikelet number per spike (SNS) is an important yield component in wheat that determines the maximum number of grains that can be formed in a wheat spike. In wheat, loss-of-function mutations in LEAFY (LFY) or its interacting protein WHEAT ORTHOLOG OF APO1 (WAPO1) significantly reduce SNS by reducing...
