High heritability in wheat traits promises increased yields and food security.
The researchers studied different traits in bread wheat to see how they are inherited. They crossed different wheat plants to create new ones and looked at things like plant height, number of grains, and yield. They found that some traits, like plant height and grain yield, are mostly passed down from parent to offspring, while others, like grains per spike, are less predictable. This research helps us understand how to improve wheat crops for better yields in the future.
