The development of rice genotypes with micronutrient-dense grains and disease resistance
is one of the major priorities in rice improvement programs. We conducted Genome-wide …

Background Increasing awareness of limitations to natural resources has set high
expectations for plant science to deliver efficient crops with increased yields, improved …

While the pleasant scent of aromatic rice is making it more popular, with demand for
aromatic rice expected to rise in future, varieties of this have low yield potential. Genetic …

Background Rice molecular genetics, breeding, genetic diversity, and allied research (such
as rice-pathogen interaction) have adopted sequencing technologies and high-density …

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an effective approach for the identification of
marker-trait associations (MTA) using more diverse germplasm not constrained by specific …

The Rice Diversity Panel 1 (RDP1) was developed for genome‐wide association (GWA)
studies to explore five rice (Oryza sativa L.) subpopulations (indica, aus, aromatic, temperate …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL)
using genomic and phenotypic data as inputs. While genomic data are obtained with high …

Abstract Background African rice, Oryza glaberrima, is an invaluable resource for rice
cultivation and for the improvement of biotic and abiotic resistance properties. Since its …

This study investigated novel quantitative traits loci (QTLs) associated with the control of
grain shape and size as well as grain weight in rice. We employed a joint-strategy multiple …

Intensive rice breeding over the past 50 y has dramatically increased productivity especially
in the indica subspecies, but our knowledge of the genomic changes associated with such …
