Annals of Botany, 117(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcv147Background and Aims: Tiller production and survival determine final spike number, and play key roles in grain yield formation in wheat (Triticum aestivum). This study aimed to understand the genetic and physiological basis of the tillering process, a...
