Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A novel and stable QTL was identified for wheat protein content, independent of kernel traits, with a validated KASP marker for efficient breeding without yield penalties. Protein content (PC) is a critical determinant of wheat end-use quality. While NAM-B1 is a major gene regulating PC in wheat, its breeding applications are limited due to its wild origin and undesirable agronomic traits. This study...
