Open AccessAssociation of yield-related traits in founder genotypes and derivatives of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Yield improvement is an ever-important objective of wheat breeding. Studying and understanding the phenotypes and genotypes of yield-related traits has potential for genetic improvement of crops.

QTL analysis of wheat kernel traits, and genetic effects of qKW-6A on kernel width
The three genetic populations used in this study included a doubled-haploid (DH) population derived from ‘Hanxuan 10’ × ‘Lumai 14’, a BC3F6 population from ‘Lumai 14’ × ‘**g 411’ [introgression line (IL) populat...

Open AccessIdentification of TaPPH-7A haplotypes and development of a molecular marker associated with important agronomic traits in common wheat
Premature senescence of flag leaf severely affects wheat yield and quality. Chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is the most obvious symptom during leaf senescence and catalyzed by a series of enzymes. Pheophytin phe...

Open AccessMining the stable quantitative trait loci for agronomic traits in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) based on an introgression line population
Human demand for wheat will continue to increase together with the continuous global population growth. Agronomic traits in wheat are susceptible to environmental conditions. Therefore, in breeding practice, p...

Open AccessGenome-wide identification and characterization of long non-coding RNAs related to grain yield in foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.]
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play critical roles in diverse growth and development processes in plants. However, the systematic identification and characterization of lncRNAs in foxtail ...

Genome-wide association study of agronomic traits related to nitrogen use efficiency in wheat
GWAS identified 347 QTLs associated with eight traits related to nitrogen use efficiency in a 389-count wheat panel. Four novel candidate transcription factor genes were verified using qRT-PCR.
