Genome‐wide association analyses of 54 traits identified multiple loci for the determination of floret fertility in wheat

Summary Increasing grain yield is still the main target of wheat breeding; yet today's wheat plants utilize less than half of their yield potential. Owing to the difficulty of determining grain yield potential in a large population, few genetic factors regulating floret fertility (i.e. the difference between grain yield potential and grain number) have been reported to date. In this study, we conducted a genome‐wide association study ( GWAS ) by...
