Abstract
Crop yields must increase to address food insecurity. Grain weight, determined by grain length and width, is an important yield component, but our understanding of the underlying genes and mechanisms is limited. We used genetic mapping and near isogenic lines (NILs) to identify, validate and fine map a major quantitative trait loci (QTL) on wheat chromosome 5A associated with grain weight. Detailed phenotypic characterisation of developing and...
