Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS3B02G162000
• Gene Symbol: FT-B2
• Gene Name: FLOWERING LOCUS T2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• A previous study showed that loss-of-function mutations in FLOWERING LOCUS T2 (FT2) increase spikelet number per spike (SNS), an important grain yield component.
• We discovered a natural FT-A2 allele that increases grain number per spike in both pasta and bread wheat with limited effect on heading time.
• FT-A2 A10 allele may be particularly useful for improving grain yield in durum wheat and fall-planted common wheat varieties.
• FT-A2 effects on SNS, GNS, grain weight and spike yield.
• Identification and characterization of a natural polymorphism in FT-A2 associated with increased number of grains per spike in wheat.
