Timely flowering is essential for optimum crop reproduction and yield. To determine the best
flowering‐time genes (FTGs) relevant to local adaptation and breeding, it is essential to …

Wheat is the most widely-grown crop globally, providing 20% of the daily consumed calories
and protein content around the world. With the growing global population and frequent …

Wheat needs different durations of vernalization, which accelerates flowering by exposure to
cold temperature, to ensure reproductive development at the optimum time, as that is critical …

TaVrn1, encoding a MADS‐box transcription factor (TF), is the central regulator of wheat
vernalization‐induced flowering. Considering that the MADS‐box TF usually works by forming …

High‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GS), a major component of seed storage
proteins (SSP) in wheat, largely determine processing quality. HMW‐GS encoded by GLU‐1 …

Key message We fine mapped RHT26 for plant height in wheat, confirmed its genetic effects
in a panel of wheat cultivars and predicted candidate genes. Abstract Development of …

Key message We fine mapped QTL QTKW.caas-5DL for thousand kernel weight in wheat,
predicted candidate genes and developed a breeding-applicable marker. Abstract Thousand …

Preharvest sprouting (PHS) significantly reduces grain yield and quality. Identification of
genetic loci for PHS resistance will facilitate breeding sprouting-resistant wheat cultivars. In this …

The utilization of reduced plant height genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b, encoding homeologous
DELLA proteins, led to the wheat Green Revolution (GR). However, the specific functions of …

Key message We identified stable QTL for grain morphology and yield component traits in a
wheat defective grain filling line and validated genetic effects in a panel of cultivars using …
