Integration of genome-wide association study, linkage analysis, and population transcriptome analysis to reveal the TaFMO1-5B modulating seminal root growth in bread wheat

Abstract

the frequency of the favorable haplotype of QTrl.Rs-5B increased with habitat expansion and breeding improvement of bread wheat. In conclusion, our findings identified and demonstrated the effects of QTrl.Rs-5B on seminal root development and illustrated that it is a valuable genetic locus for wheat root improvement.
