High-throughput phenotyping discovers new stable loci controlling senescence rate in bread wheat by Li, Lei, Liu, Jindong, Hassan, Muhammad Adeel, Wang, Duoxia, Wang, Keyi, Fei, Shuaipeng, Zeng, Jianqi, Rasheed, Awais, Xia, Xianchun, He, Zhonghu, He, Yong, Zhang, Yong, Xiao, Yonggui

“…Results indicated that higher senescence rates significantly impacted grain yield, primarily by influencing thousand-kernel weight, and plant height. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping for FLC, USG, and MSR using the 50K SNP array identified 38 stable loci associated with RGB-based vegetation indices and senescence-related traits: among which 19 loci related to senescence traits from UAV and FLC were consistently detected across at least two growth stages, with nine loci likely representing novel QTL. …”
