Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plant compactness (PC) is a crucial agronomic trait that affects plant density in wheat, which in turn influences biomass and grain yield potential. The canopy of high-yielding wheat varieties should exhibit appropriate aboveground plant architecture. In this study, three recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations were generated to identify and validate quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to plant...
