Association Mapping for Biomass and Kernel Traits in Doubled-Haploid Population Derived from Texas Wheat Cultivars.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Genetic improvement in wheat yield is the most focused research area for the breeding community to ensure sustainable production. Wheat kernel traits and biomass are considered key contributors to enhance crop yield.

Methods

This study was designed to explore the genetic diversity of kernel and biomass traits in popular wheat varieties from the US Southern Great Plains using 264 doubled haploid (DH) lines mainly derived from TAM 114 or TAM 204. This population was evaluated in two field environments planted in alpha lattice design during the 2020 crop season. Kernel traits were collected using the hp Scanjet G4010 photo scanner for image capturing and GrainScan v3. software for image analysis. Biomass parameters were collected and processed manually.
