Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS1B02G477400
• Gene Symbol: TaELF3-1BL
• Gene Name: ELF3-like protein 2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• TaELF3 genes, homologs of ELF3 in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), were cloned by a comparative genomics approach and located on homologous group 1 chromosomes, designated as TaELF3-1AL, TaELF3-1BL, and TaELF3-1DL.
• TaELF3-1DL, a homolog of ELF3, is associated with heading date in bread wheat.
• TaELF3-1DLb is associated with early HD. Thus, the functional marker can be used in wheat breeding programs.
• A quantitative trait locus (QTL) for heading date (HD) co-segregating with TaELF3-1DL explained 7.7–20.6% of the phenotypic variance in a RIL mapping population derived from the Gaocheng 8901/Zhoumai 16 cross genotyped using the wheat 90K iSelect assay.
• Validate function of the TaELF3 gene on flowering by linkage mapping.
