Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Greater wheat temperature response was associated with later onset and end of stem elongation.
- Association Greater wheat temperature response was associated with greater final height.
- Observation Genome-wide association mapping found three temperature-responsive QTLs in wheat.
- Observation Genome-wide association mapping found four temperature-irresponsive QTLs in wheat.
- Association Putative genes for temperature-responsive wheat QTLs were often related to the Arabidopsis flowering pathway.
- Association Temperature-irresponsive wheat QTLs corresponded to growth and reduced-height genes.
- Association These loci, Rht and Ppd alleles, and stem elongation timing loci accounted for 71% of wheat height variation.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that field phenotyping with environmental covariates can aid selection of climate-resilient crops.
