Abstract excerpt
Heat stress is a major threat to spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) production in the Indo-Gangetic plains of South Asia, particularly in India and Pakistan. Breeding for heat-tolerant cultivars is an effective strategy to improve wheat productivity in stressed environments. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for heat tolerance, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify marker-trait...
