Genomic Regions From an Iranian Landrace Increase Kernel Size in Durum Wheat

Kernel size and shape are important parameters determining the wheat profitability, being main determinants of yield and its technological quality. In this study, a segregating population of 118 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between the Iranian durum landrace accession ‘Iran_249’ and the Iranian durum cultivar ‘Zardak’ was used to investigate durum wheat kernel morphology factors and their relationships with kernel weight, and to...
