Article Synopsis
- Wheat adaptation is influenced by Ppd-1a genes, but their impact on leaf and spikelet initiation rates hasn't been thoroughly investigated.
- Twelve near isogenic lines with varying Ppd-1a alleles were tested against a wild type, revealing that leaf initiation rates were unchanged, leading to lower final leaf numbers due to shorter vegetative phases.
- While spikelet initiation was faster, the increase in spikelets per spike was not as high, indicating a complex relationship influenced by the different Ppd-1 alleles, which could be utilized to enhance wheat adaptation strategies.
