Abstract excerpt
Terminal heat stress is a major limitation to wheat productivity, especially during the reproductive stage. This paper examines the genetic variation and correlations of heat tolerance traits in wheat using structural equation modeling (SEM) as a novel approach to reveal causal relationships among key reproductive traits. Genetic diversity was evaluated in 200 spring wheat genotypes grown under optimal and...
