Common wheat production is significantly influenced by abiotic stresses. Identifying the genetic loci for seedling root traits and developing the available molecular markers are crucial for breeding high yielding and stable varieties. In this study, five wheat seedling root traits, including root length (RL), root surface area (RA), root volume (RV), number of root tips (RT), and root dry weight (RW), were measured in the Wp-072/Wp-119 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population. Genotyping was conducted for the RIL population and their parents using the wheat 90K single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip. In total, three quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for RL (
