Genome-wide association study for grain yield and related traits in elite wheat varieties and advanced lines using SNP markers.

Genetic improvement of grain yield is always an important objective in wheat breeding. Here, a genome-wide association study was conducted to parse the complex genetic composition of yield-related traits of 105 elite wheat varieties (lines) using the Wheat 90K Illumina iSelect SNP array. Nine yield-...
