Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) poses an enormous threat to wheat production; enhancing seed dormancy is an effective strategy to mitigate PHS. However, as a highly complex trait, seed dormancy is governed by polygenes and is difficult to be enhanced in genetic manipulation. RESULTS: In this study, a wheat mutant 1813WH was generated from a PHS-sensitive line “Long 13-3778” through EMS treatment. The...
