Hypermorphic TaARF4 shapes wheat architecture by repressing SPL-mediated developmental timing

This study identifies a hypermorphic mutation in TaARF4-A2 that represses SPL-mediated developmental timing, leading to altered wheat architecture by promoting aerial branching and reducing reproductive development.

A promising QTL QSns.sau-MC-3D.1 likely superior to WAPO1 for wheat spikelet number per spike shows no adverse effects on yield-related traits

This paper identifies a novel QTL, QSns.sau-MC-3D.1, for wheat spikelet number per spike that shows no adverse effects on yield-related traits and has better breeding potential than WAPO1.

The 55K SNP-Based Exploration of QTL for Spikelet Number Per Spike in a Tetraploid Wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) Population: Chinese Landrace Ailanmai X Wild Emmer

The paper identifies five QTL for spikelet number per spike in a tetraploid wheat population using a 55K SNP array and validates two major QTL with KASP markers.

Wheat avenin-like protein and its significant Fusarium Head Blight resistant functions

This study identifies wheat Avenin-like proteins (TaALPs) with anti-Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) functions through genomic, transcriptomic, and biochemical analyses.

An overexpressed Q allele leads to increased spike density and improved processing quality

The paper identifies a mutation in the Q gene that leads to increased spike density and improved processing quality in wheat by overexpressing Qc1.
