Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: This study identified and validated novel QTL controlling GPC, predicted the underlying candidate genes, and provides valuable insights for improving wheat nutritional quality while minimizing yield penalties. Grain protein content (GPC) is a key determinant of wheat quality, but its improvement is often limited by a negative correlation with yield. To elucidate the genetic architecture of GPC, a...
