New marker-trait associations were identified for traits like grain size and disease resistance in winter wheat.
A total of 3500 SNPs were retained for analysis from an initial 60,000, supporting targeted genotyping effectiveness.
KASP markers were developed for associated SNPs, adding new potential tools for breeding in wheat genetics.
The study reveals a potential link between awns and increased calcium in grain, indicating broader implications for nutrition.
