Combining QTL mapping and gene co-expression network analysis for prediction of candidate genes and molecular network related to yield in wheat.

Background: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important cereal crop. Increasing grain yield for wheat is always a priority.

Insights into transcriptional characteristics and homoeolog expression bias of embryo and de-embryonated kernels in developing grain through RNA-Seq and Iso-Seq.

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an allohexaploid, and the transcriptional characteristics of the wheat embryo and endosperm during grain development remain unclear. To analyze the transcriptome, we performed isoform sequencing (Iso-Seq) for wheat grain and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) for the embryo and de-embryonated kernels.
