Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Under N limited conditions, haplotype-based GWAS revealed significant associations at three Glu-1 loci.
- Association A novel QTL on chromosome 3A increased SED by 2.49 mL.
- Observation Additional QTL had stable, N independent effects across environments.
- Observation Contributions across all QTL were predominantly additive.
- Recommendation The WM-800 population is suitable for dissecting quality traits.
- Recommendation Targeted accumulation of favourable haplotypes may enable a wheat quality improvement under reduced N fertilization.
- Observation Haplotype-based GWAS identified 47 marker-trait associations for GPC and SED.
- Association Novel QTL increased SED by 4.35 mL.
- Observation Several QTL could be assigned to known HMW-GS glutenin loci under both N treatments.
- Recommendation N independent quality QTL may promote selection for baking quality under reduced N fertilization.
