| Abstract |
Coincident regions on chromosome 4B for GW, on 5A for SD and TSS, and on 3A for SL and GNS were detected through an integration of a linkage analysis and a genome-wide association study (GWAS). In addition, six stable QTL clusters on chromosomes 2D, 3A, 4B, 5A and 6A were identified with high PVE% on a composite map. The panicle traits of wheat, such as grain number per spike and 1000-grain weight, are closely correlated with grain yield. Superior and effective alleles at loci related to panicles developments play a crucial role in the progress of molecular improvement in wheat yield breeding. Here, we revealed several notable allelic variations of seven panicle-related traits through an integration of genome-wide association mapping and a linkage analysis. The linkage analysis was performed using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population (173 lines of F8:9) with a high-density genetic map constructed with 90K SNP arrays, Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in five environments. Thirty-five additive quantitative trait loci (QTL) were discovered, including eleven stable QTLs on chromosomes 1A, 2D, 4B, 5B, 6B, and 6D. The marker interval between EX_C101685 and RAC875_C27536 on chromosome 4B exhibited pleiotropic effects for GW, SL, GNS, FSN, SSN, and TSS, with the phenotypic variation explained (PVE) ranging from 5.40 to 37.70%. In addition, an association analysis was conducted using a diverse panel of 205 elite wheat lines with a composite map (24,355 SNPs) based on the Illumina Infinium assay in four environments. A total of 73 significant marker-trait associations (MTAs) were detected for panicle traits, which were distributed across all wheat chromosomes except for 4D, 5D, and 6D. Consensus regions between RAC875_C27536_611 and Tdurum_contig4974_355 on chromosome 4B for GW in multiple environments, between QTSS5A.7-43 and BS00021805_51 on 5A for SD and TSS, and between QSD3A.2-164 and RAC875_c17479_359 on 3A for SL and GNS in multiple environments were detected through linkage analysis and a genome-wide association study (GWAS). In addition, six stable QTL clusters on chromosomes 2D, 3A, 4B, 5A, and 6A were identified with high PVE% on a composite map. This study provides potentially valuable information on the dissection of yield-component traits and valuable genetic alleles for molecular-design breeding or functional gene exploration. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 April 2018.
All research outputs
#18,530,416
of 23,794,258 outputs
Outputs from Theoretical and Applied Genetics
#3,046
of 3,565 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#242,898
of 332,421 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Theoretical and Applied Genetics
#30
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,794,258 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,565 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,421 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 43 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
