Antagonistic effects of selection on alleles associated with seed size and seed dormancy in wheat
Our findings reveal the genetic architecture underlying the observed weakening of seed dormancy as seed size increases during wheat improvement, enabling further genome-informed cultivar breeding to balance and improve seed dormancy and seed size traits.
