Abstract excerpt
Wheat is a vital global crop, essential for food security, yet its productivity is increasingly threatened by rising temperatures, particularly during critical reproductive stages. This study investigates the genetic basis of anther size, a key reproductive trait, in response to heat stress, using a diverse panel of 177 historical wheat cultivars. High heritability and genetic advance were observed for anther...
