High heritability in wheat traits leads to increased grain yield potential.
The study looked at different traits in wheat plants to see how they are inherited. They found that some traits like plant height and days to maturity have low variability, while others like grain yield and biological yield have moderate variability. Traits like number of productive tillers and harvest index have high heritability, meaning they are strongly influenced by genetics. The researchers also found that grain yield is positively linked to traits like 1000-grain weight and harvest index.
