Abstract excerpt
The bluish-white appearance of some plants, known as glaucousness, results from the scattering effect of visible light due to plant surface waxes. This adaptive trait can contribute to tolerance of abiotic stresses in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) such as drought, solar radiation, and heat. In this study, we identified quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and marker-trait associations for flag leaf and spike...
