Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Identified and validated stable QTL for spike traits across 15 environments, promising candidate genes for thermotolerance and spike traits, novel KASP and gene-based markers, providing genomic resources for breeding high-yielding, heat-tolerant wheat. To unravel the genetic architecture of six spike traits under heat stress, we used a doubled haploid (DH) mapping population (177 lines), developed...
