Previous studies have indicated that crosses between spring and winter wheat cultivars can result in spring growth habit cultivars with cold tolerance similar to winter wheats (Larsen 2012) Agronomic studies focusing on seeding date tend to indicate a yield advantage to early seeding of spring…
Most important traits in wheat are complex, quantitatively inherited, and controlled by many minor effect genes This poses a significant challenge to characterize these traits Linkage and linkage disequilibrium mapping approaches have limitations that a multi-parent population approach such as…
