Abstract excerpt
The flag leaf serves as the primary photosynthetic organ in wheat, and its size is significantly correlated with wheat yield. The mapping of QTLs associated with flag leaf size and the development of closely linked molecular markers holds substantial significance for enhancing wheat yield potential. In this study, a genetic linkage map consisting of 11,583 markers was constructed by the Wheat55K SNP Array, and...
