In order to further explore the quantitative trait locus (QTL) for tillering-related traits in wheat, and to explore the genetic relationship between tillering traits, we used 255 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) populations, constructed from Apache and Xindong 36, as research materials to determine several key metrics. These included the number of pre-winter tillers, the number of single tillers, the number of effective tillers, the effective tillers per unit area, and the tiller angle. The phenotypic values of spike rate were determined in four environments. The QTL controlling tillering-related traits was carried out based on the ultra-low depth sequencing data of the RIL populations. The results showed that a total of 53 QTLs for tillering traits were detected on 15 chromosomes, including 13 QTLs for pre-winter tiller number, 10 QTLs for single-plant tiller number, 8 QTLs for effective tiller number per plant, 11 QTLs for effective tiller number per unit area, 4 QTLs for tiller angle, 2 QTLs for spike-forming rate, and 5 pleiotropism QTLs. The phenotypic interpretation rates of individual QTLs ranged from 2.66% to 28.76%. Among them, QTn.xjau-4B was detected in all three environments, with a phenotypic contribution rate of 28.76% to the effective number of tillers of a single plant. This stable QTL is a major effective and R-E-Z locus, which can be used as an important locus for the study of tillering and plant type.
