Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: This study identified and validated novel PTN QTL and predicted corresponding candidate genes, providing a genetic basis for the improvement of tiller number and grain yield in wheat. Productive tiller number (PTN) is a central component of wheat yield, yet its genetic regulation remains complex and highly responsive to environmental variation. This study employed a Chinese endemic wheat association...
