A molecular framework of the Rht-A1–TaLA1-D module controlling tiller angle in wheat
allele during modern wheat breeding, correlating with compact plant architecture and elevated thousand-grain weight. This study provides new insights into plant architecture regulation and target genes for improving yield potential in wheat.
