Combining ability analysis of yield and biomass allocation related traits in newly developed wheat populations

Abstract Increasing biomass allocation to the root system may increase soil-organic carbon stocks and confer drought adaptation in water-limited environments. Understanding the genetic bases and inheritance of biomass allocation is fundamental for drought tolerance breeding and soil health. The obje...
