The genome structure of the 1-FEH genes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.): New markers to track stem carbohydrates and grain filling QTLs in breeding

Terminal drought tolerance of wheat is a major target in many areas in the world and is a particular focus in Western Australia. It is widely considered to relate to water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) levels such as fructan in the stem, as the head is maturing. Fructan exohydrolases are key enzymes du...
