Yield-Related QTL Clusters and the Potential Candidate Genes in Two Wheat DH Populations

In the present study, four large-scale field trials using two doubled haploid wheat populations were conducted in different environments for two years. Grain protein content (GPC) and 21 other yield-related traits were investigated. A total of 227 QTL were mapped on 18 chromosomes, which formed 35 Q...
