Stigma size as a target for wheat hybrid breeding: phenotyping germplasm diversity and mapping candidates underlying its genetic control
Modifying bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) floral characteristics will be crucial to improve the efficiency of hybrid seed production. A larger and more-plumose stigma, on the female parent, is predicted to improve pollen capture potential and increase the chance of successful cross-fertilisation. A...
