Abstract excerpt
The peduncle stem plays an essential role in resource allocation and water transport to spike grains under normal conditions. Therefore, exploring peduncle traits and their relationships with spike production under drought stress may provide insights into the mechanisms that mitigate the effects of drought stress on grain yield in wheat. To address this challenge, a panel of 198 highly homozygous and diverse...
