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 …

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 …

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

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.) …

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 …

Little information is presently available on the repeatability of quantitative trait loci (QTL)
identification across different samples and different environments. In previous experiments …

Grain yield is the primary trait of interest in maize (Zea mays L.) breeding programs, but its
evaluation is complicated by genetic heterogeneity, a complex biological basis, and …

Plant breeders have an interest in the identification of genomic regions associated with the
expression of quantitative traits because they recognize that such information could be used …

The utility of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in detecting quantitative trait
loci (QTL) in maize (Zea mays L.) populations has been established. Conflicting results have …

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 …
