QTL analysis for wheat falling number in a recombinant inbred line population segregated with 1BL/1RS translocation in a rainfed agricultural area of China

Falling number (FN) is an inner quality trait in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ultimately determining the end use of wheat kernels. In this 3-year study, 171 recombinant inbred lines derived from Chuannong17 (a 1BL/1RS tranlocation parent) × Mianyang11 were planted in the Sichuan Basin, a rainfed agricultural area in southwestern China. In this climate, we found that FN had significant differences between 1BL/1RS translocation lines and...
