A summary of of selected candidate genes (CGs) and their functions
| Trait; MTA | Candidate gene (CG) | Protein domain | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| DTA and DTH; M1955 | TraesCS5A02G417200 | F-box domain | F-box protein plays an important role in growth and development. For example TaFBA1 gene in wheat encodes F-box protein that regulates abscisic acid (ABA) involved in a variety of processes during growth and development (Verslues and Zhu 2005; Finkelstein 2006; Fujii et al. 2007; An et al. 2019) |

| TGW; M4710 | TraesCS3A02G532500 | ||
| TraesCS3A02G532600 | CytP450 | Cytochrome P450 proteins are involved in several developmental processes through the biosynthesis and/or catabolism of phytohormones and secondary compounds (Li and Wei 2020) | |
| DTH; M13005 | TraesCS4A02G372100 | ABC transporter | The ABC transporter (e.g. TaABC3) plays an important role in grain formation, ripening and in mycotoxin tolerance in wheat (Lemmens et al. 2005; Walter et al. 2015) |
| DTA; M1920 | TraesCS4A02G333700 | AP2/ERF domain | APETALA2/Ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF) is involved in regulation of tolerance to several abiotic stresses (Gahlaut et al. 2019) and regulates growth and development (Zhang et al. 2020) |
| TGW; M14981 | TraesCS2B02G054100 | ||
| DTM; M3393 | TraesCS5A02G325800 | GRAS | GRAS proteins are involved in regulation of processes like photosynthesis, growth, senescence and tolerance to photooxidative stress (Chen et al. 2015; Niu et al. 2019) |
| GFD (E2); M13252 (1,123,031): 2B | TraesCS2B02G472600 | Heat shock protein DnaJ | Heat shock protein DnaJ is involved in regulation of a variety of processes like response to heat stress, during grain filling (Kumar et al. 2020) |
| DTH and DTA; M5047 | TraesCS6B02G159400 | MADS-box | MADS box proteins regulate processes like inflorescence development, flowering time, floral organ identity, and also seed development (Richards 2000; Schilling et al. 2018) |
