Spike architecture influences both grain weight and grain number per spike, which are the two major components of grain yield in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, the complex wheat genome and the influence of various environmental factors pose challenges in mapping the causal genes affecting the spike traits. Here, we systematically identify genes involved in spike trait formation by integrating the information of genomic variation and gene regulatory network (GRN) controlling young spike development in wheat...
