Plant height (PH) is an essential trait in maize (Zea mays) that is tightly associated with
planting density, biomass, lodging resistance, and grain yield in the field. Dissecting the …

Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), caused by maize rough dwarf virus (MRDV) or rice
black-streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV), seriously threatens worldwide production of all major …

Plant height (PH) is a key factor in maize (Zea mays L.) yield, biomass, and plant
architecture. We investigated the PH of diverse maize inbred lines (117 temperate lines, 135 …

QTLs for rice grain yield under reproductive stage drought stress (qDTY) identified earlier
with low density markers have shown linkage drag and need to be fine mapped before their …

Genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) was employed to construct a highly saturated genetic
linkage map of a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) recombinant inbred line (RIL) …

Increasing grain yield is the ultimate goal for maize breeding. High resolution quantitative
trait loci (QTL) mapping can help us understand the molecular basis of phenotypic variation …

Heterosis contributes a big proportion to hybrid performance in maize, especially for grain
yield. It is attractive to explore the underlying genetic architecture of hybrid performance and …

Isoflavone, protein, and oil are the most important quality traits in soybean. Since these
phenotypes are typically quantitative traits, quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping has been …

Background Maize is one of the most important staple crops and is widely grown throughout
the world. Stalk lodging can cause enormous yield losses in maize production. However …

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a major legume crop that is mainly distributed in temperate
regions. The adaptability of soybean to grow at relatively high latitudes is attributed to …
