Genetic dissection of the relationships between grain yield components by genome-wide association mapping in a collection of tetraploid wheats.

Increasing grain yield potential in wheat has been a major target of most breeding programs. Genetic advance has been frequently hindered by negative correlations among yield components that have been often observed in segregant populations and germplasm collections. A tetraploid wheat collection wa...
