Open AccessGenome-wide association analysis on pre-harvest sprouting resistance and grain color in U.S. winter wheat
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in wheat can cause substantial reduction in grain yield and end-use quality. Grain color (GC) together with other components affect PHS resistance. Several quantitative trait loci (...
