Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS5B02G486900
• Gene Symbol: Q
• Gene Name: Q
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Q confers the free-threshing character and influences many other agronomically important traits.
• The Q locus played a major role in the domestication of wheat because it confers the free-threshing character and influences many other agronomically important traits.
• AP2 is known to play a major role in controlling floral homeotic gene expression and thus is an excellent candidate for Q.
• The Q allele and null mutations result in the speltoid spike phenotype.
• Q is incompletely dominant to Q, and plants with the genotype Q****Q have a spike morphology that is intermediate to speltoid and sQuare headed.
