Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: GWAS of Chinese endemic wheat identifies two stable and potentially novel spike density loci as a resource for future breeding. Spike density (SD) is an important component of spike architecture that influences grain number per spike and ultimately wheat yield potential. Chinese endemic wheat germplasm represents a valuable but underexplored reservoir of genetic diversity for spike-related...
