Most traits of interest in plant breeding show quantitative inheritance, which complicate the
breeding process since phenotypic performances only partially reflects the genetic values of …

Increasing the number of mice used to calculate recombinant inbred (RI) strain means
increases the accuracy of determining the phenotype associated with each genotype …

Background Salinity is one of the most severe and widespread abiotic stresses that affect
rice production. The identification of major-effect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for traits related …

Salinity is the second most important abiotic stress after drought that hampers rice
production, especially in south and Southeast Asia. Breeding approach supplemented with …

Mulberry (Morus L) is one of the economically important trees that have a long history of
extensive cultivation in Asia. Mulberry leaf is the sole food for the silkworm Bombyx mori; …

We have detected quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting vegetative propagation traits in
Eucalyptus tereticornis and Eucalyptus globulus. Using amplified fragment length …

Deep sequencing-based bulked segregant analysis (BSA-seq) has become a popular
approach for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping in recent years. Effective statistical …

Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) is a viral disease with a devastating effect on maize production.
Developing and deploying improved varieties with resistance to the disease is important to …

Selective genotyping of one or both phenotypic extremes of a population can be used to
detect linkage between markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL) in situations in which full …

The recent rapid emergence of maize lethal necrosis (MLN), caused by coinfection of maize
with Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and a second virus usually from the family …
