Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A QTL, QSNS.caas-3D.1, was identified and found to increase spikelet number per spike and grain number per spike without compromising thousand-grain weight. This result was validated in various genetic populations. Increasing the grain number per spike (GNS) is crucial for increasing the yield potential of wheat. This goal depends on the optimization of its key components, namely, the spikelet number...
