Background A pangenome aims to capture the complete genetic diversity within a species
and reduce bias in genetic analysis inherent in using a single reference genome. However …

Background Plant breeders seek to develop cultivars with maximal agronomic value, which
is often assessed using numerous, often genetically correlated traits. As intervention on one …

Higher yields of rice have always been a predominant goal in rice breeding techniques.
However, the inheritances of rice yield and its components are still unknown, and no …

Abstract Background Increasing rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield is a crucial challenge for modern
agriculture. The ideal plant architecture is considered to be critical to enhance rice yield …

High head rice and low chalky grain percentages are key grain quality traits selected in
developing rice cultivars. The objectives of this research were to characterize the phenotypic …

The yield heterosis of rice is sought by farmers and strong contributes to food safety, but the
quality of hybrid rice may be reduced. Therefore, developing new varieties with both high …

Background Improving yield and yield-related traits is the crucial goal in breeding
programmes of cereals. Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis discovers the most stable QTLs …

Grain weight and grain length are the most stable components of rice yield and important
indicators of consumer preference. Considering the potentials of wild rice and to enhance …

Abstract Introduction North East (NE) India is the second centre for the origin of rice and is
enriched with a diverse collection of traditional rice accessions. These genotypes possess …

Identifying trait-associated genes is critical for rice (Oryza sativa) improvement, which
usually relies on map-based cloning, quantitative trait locus analysis, or genome-wide …
