Optimizing tiller production and survival for grain yield improvement in a bread wheat × spelt mapping population

Background and Aims: Tiller production and survival determine final spike number, and play key roles in grain yield formation in wheat (Triticum aestivum). This study aimed to understand the genetic and physiological basis of the tillering process, and its trade-offs with other yield components, by...
