Uncovering genomic regions controlling plant architectural traits in hexaploid wheat using different GWAS models

Abstract Wheat is a major food crop worldwide. The plant architecture is a complex trait mostly influenced by plant height, tiller number, and leaf morphology. Plant height plays a crucial role in lodging and thus affects yield and grain quality. In this study, a wheat population was genotyped by us...
