With the advent of high-throughput phenotyping platforms, plant breeders have a means to
assess many traits for large breeding populations. However, understanding the genetic …

It is hypothesized that the genome-wide genic markers may increase the prediction accuracy
of genomic selection for quantitative traits. To test this hypothesis, a set of candidate gene …

Abstract Knowledge of the genetic architecture of importantly agronomical traits can speed
up genetic improvement in cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.). Many recent investigations have …

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 …

Rice yield per plant has a complex genetic architecture, which is mainly determined by its
three component traits: the number of grains per panicle (GPP), kilo-grain weight (KGW) …

Background Improving the overall production of rice with high quality is a major target of
breeders. Mining potential yield-related loci have been geared towards developing efficient …

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 …

Though several genes governing various major traits have been reported in rice, their
superior haplotype combinations for developing ideal variety remains elusive. In this study …

Background Basmati is a speciality segment in the rice genepool characterised by explicit
grain quality. For the want of suitable populations, genome-wide association study (GWAS) …

In human genetics, genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a commonly used method for
discovering genes and genetic variants contributing to human traits, usually through …
