Maize is used in an endless list of products that are directly or indirectly related to human
nutrition and food security. Maize is grown in producer farms, farmers depend on genetically …

Grain weight is one of the three direct yield components, being developed through a
dynamic process of grain filling in maize. In this study, 258 recombinant inbred lines derived …

Using advanced intermated populations has been proposed as a way to increase the
accuracy of mapping experiments. An F3 population of 300 lines and an advanced …

Grain weight, one of the important factors to determine corn yield, is a typical quantitative
inheritance trait. However, the molecular genetic basis of grain weight still remains limited. In …

Grain yield is the most important and complex trait in maize. In this study, a total of 258 F 9
recombinant inbred lines (RIL), derived from a cross between dent corn inbred Dan232 and …

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

In the past, plant breeders dealt with complex agronomic traits in crops, such as drought,
pest resistance, yield, and standability, through field observations and standard breeding …

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 …

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

Chickpea is one of the most important leguminous cool season food crops, cultivated
prevalently in South Asia and Middle East. The main objective of this study was to identify …
