Fine mapping and candidate gene analysis of qKnps-2A for kernel number per spike in wheat
Kernel number per spike (KNPS) is a crucial determinant of wheat yield. Previous studies identified qKnps-2A as a major stable QTL for KNPS on chromosome 2A using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between the semi-winter wheat cultivar Kenong 9204 and the winter wheat cultivar Ji...
