This study aimed at developing, characterizing and evaluating two maize phenotypic‐
selected introgression libraries for a collection of dominant plant height (PHT)‐increasing …

A set of recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from Yuyu22, an elite hybrid widespread in
China, was used to construct an immortalized F 2 (IF 2) population comprising 441 different …

Plant architecture is a key factor affecting planting density and grain yield in maize (Zea
mays). However, the genetic mechanisms underlying plant architecture in diverse genetic …

With 4 figures and 1 table Abstract Plant height is an important trait for breeding and as
fitness criterion in natural populations of rye (Secale cereale L.). Our objectives were to …

Plant height is one of the most important agronomic traits closely associated with biomass,
lodging resistance and grain yield in maize. The aim of this study to map QTLs, validate QTL …

With 2 figures and 5 tables Abstract Two populations, one comprising 98 near‐isogenic
introgression lines (Z3HBILs) with a Zong3 genetic background, and the other comprising a …

Plant height (PH) is an important agronomic trait that is closely related to soybean yield and
quality. However, it is a complex quantitative trait governed by multiple genes and is …

Teosinte (Zea mays subsp. parviglumis HH Iltis & Doebley) has greater genetic diversity
than maize inbreds and landraces (Z. mays subsp. mays). There are, however, limited …

Heterosis, the superior performance of hybrids as compared to their parental mean is an
agronomically important phenomenon well-described morphologically. However, little is …

Height is one of the most heritable and easily measured traits in maize (Zea mays L.). Given
a pedigree or estimates of the genomic identity-by-state among related plants, height is also …
