Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering, and in particular relates to a method for using CAPS (Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence) markers to detect the superior allelic variation of TaAGPS gene related to thousand-grain weight. Background technique
[0002] The genome of wheat is an allohexaploid, consisting of three highly homologous genomes, A, B, and D. The genome is large and complex, which provides a challenge for the development of wheat genetics and breeding research. Wheat is one of the most important food crops in the world and is widely grown around the globe. Studies such as Rajaram show that: with the increase of the world population, it is expected that the global demand for wheat will further increase by 40% in 2020, so cultivating high-yield wheat varieties has become one of the main breeding goals of current breeders. The yield of wheat is composed of three elements: the number of spikelets, the number of grains ...
