We applied an advanced backcross breeding strategy to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
of agronomic importance in a cross between two elite inbreds of maize, RD6502 (Mo17-type …

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping can provide useful information for breeding programs,
since it allows the estimation of genomic locations and genetic effects of chromosomal …

Crop yield is of a quantitative nature. Two complementary approaches linkage mapping and
genome-wide association study (GWAS) have been employed for the identification of loci …

It is generally recognized that many favorable genes which were lost during domestication,
including those related to both nutritional value and stress resistance, remain hidden in wild …

Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops of global importance. Wheat crop provides
one-fifth of the daily calories and dietary proteins for human consumption. Improving grain …

MODEM is a comprehensive database of maize multidimensional omics data, including
genomic, transcriptomic, metabolic and phenotypic information from the cellular to individual …

Grain size, grain number per panicle, and grain weight are crucial determinants of yield-
related traits in cereals. Understanding the genetic basis of grain yield-related traits has …

Grain yield (GY) is a genetically complex and physiologically multiplicative trait which can be
decomposed into the components kernel number (KN) and 100-kernel weight (HKW) …

Most complex quantitative traits in maize (Zea mays L.), especially grain yield, display low
correlations between the trait values observed in inbred and hybrid progeny. Comparisons …

The yield of maize grain is a highly complex quantitative trait that is controlled by multiple
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) with small effects, and is frequently influenced by multiple …
