TaMYB72 directly activates the expression of TaFT to promote heading and enhance grain yield traits in wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)

Wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)is a staple food for approximately half the global population.As the population continues to grow,the demand for high-yielding varieties is increasing(Zorb et al.,2018).Higher yields can be achieved by increasing the number and weight of grains produced and by optimizing heading dates to maximize production in local environments(Sakuma and Schnurbusch,2020).
