Novel loci for flag leaf thickness with breeding potential: genetic dissection and candidate genes prediction
Significant positive correlations between FLT and spikelet number per spike (SNS) were detected in both RIL populations, and seven putative candidate genes highly expressed in wheat leaves are identified that may participate in the regulation of FLT development.
