Genetic Mapping by 55K Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Array Reveals Candidate Genes for Tillering Trait in Wheat Mutant .

Background: The tiller number is a key agronomic trait for increasing the yield potential of wheat ( L.). A number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and key genes controlling tillering have been identified, but the regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.

Comprehensive Transcriptome Analysis of Responses during Cold Stress in Wheat ( L.).

Wheat production is often impacted by pre-winter freezing damage and cold spells in later spring. To study the influences of cold stress on wheat seedlings, unstressed Jing 841 was sampled once at the seedling stage, followed by 4 °C stress treatment for 30 days and once every 10 days. A total of 12,926 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from the transcriptome.
