High-throughput phenotyping platform uncovers genetic basis of wheat spike morphology evolution
A collaborative research team led by Lu Fei from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Guo Zifeng from the Institute of Botany of CAS, together with their colleagues, has pinpointed key genetic factors shaping wheat spike morphology—a critical trait for yield—using a high-throughput phenotyping platform.

🌱New study sheds light on how wild emmer wheat genes could revolutionize wheat's response to nitrogen deficiency. Explore candidate genes for enhanced nitrogen use efficiency and abiotic stress tolerance.

The wild emmer wheat grain protein content 5B QTL introgressed into bread wheat is associated with tolerance to nitrogen deficiency .
Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for wheat growth and development, its deficiency negatively affects grain yield and grain protein content (GPC). We describe here the dissection of the high ...
