July 2024: 4708 Wheat QTL from the Watkins Collection now on GrainGenes

The Watkins Landrace Collection contains wheat accessions collected world-wide. A publication in preprint in Nature 'Harnessing landrace diversity empowers wheat breeding' (Cheng S, et al.) reports 1428 GWAS QTL from the natural population and 3280 QTL from a population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a nested-association mapping panel (NAM) with the common parent Paragon.

See the reference report in GrainGenes Watkins-2024 for links to all QTL, genes, and new loci.

All QTL in the RIL/NAM populations have reciprocal links to the QTL placed on the IWGSC Chinese Spring 2018 RefSeq genome browser.
