Genetic factors controlling quantitative inheritance of grain yield and its components have
not previously been investigated by using replicated lines of an elite maize (Zea mays L.) …

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms have become powerful tools for genetic
investigations in plant species. They allow a much greater degree of genome saturation with …

Because traits such as grain yield are polygenically inherited and strongly influenced by
environment, determination of genotypic values from phenotypic expression is not precise …

This study was conducted to compare maize quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection for grain
yield and yield components in F 2∶ 3 and F 6∶ 7 recombinant inbred (RI) lines from the …

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for grain yield, dry matter content and test weight were identified
in an F 2 segregating population derived from a single cross between two elite maize lines …

Individual genetic factors which underlie variation in quantitative traits of maize were
investigated in each of two F2 populations by examining the mean trait expressions of …

The use of molecular markers to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting agriculturally
important traits has become a key approach in plant genetics-both for understanding the …

The subject is reviewed with the emphasis being on work with maize. Mapped genetic
markers, such as isoenzyme loci and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) …

The aim of this investigation was to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with grain
yield and yield components in maize and to analyze the role of epistasis in controlling these …

In an earlier study for identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) a maize (Zea mays L.)
population generated from the cross B73× Mo17, a major effect on grain yield and yield …
