Genome-wide association analysis reveals natural genetic variations controlling canopy architecture traits in bread wheat

Puntos clave

• Canopy architecture traits in bread wheat were significantly influenced by natural genetic variations.
• The analysis identified key genomic regions linked to these traits across diverse wheat varieties.
• An observational analysis was performed using genome-wide association methods to assess genetic associations.
• These findings highlight the importance of genetic diversity for enhancing wheat crop resilience and yield.
