Breeding for a quantitative trait like drought resistance would be facilitated by the
development of a method of marker‐assisted selection (MAS) that is capable of identifying …

The exploitation of heterosis is one of the most outstanding advancements in plant breeding,
although its genetic basis is not well understood yet. This research was conducted on the …

Maize is one of the most important food and feed crops in Asia, and is a source of income for
several million farmers. Despite impressive progress made in the last few decades through …

Improving seedling vigor is an important objective of modern rice (Oryza saliva L.) breeding
programs. The purpose of this study was to identify and map quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

The objective of this study was to use restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to
determine the genetic location and effects of genomic regions controlling plant height in …

Summbary Through earlier breeding efforts, portions of the genome of the wild species
Lycopersicon chmielewskii have been introgressed into the cultivated tomato (Rick 1974) …

Quantitative triat loci (QTLs) for yield and related traits in rice were mapped based on RFLP
maps from two indica/indica F 2 populations, Tesanai 2/CB and Waiyin 2/CB. In Tesanai …

Background Heterosis has been exploited for decades in different animals and crops due to
it resulting in dramatic increases in yield and adaptability. Hybridization is a classical …

Despite numerous published reports of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for drought-related traits,
practical applications of such QTL in maize improvement are scarce. Identifying QTL of …

A genetic linkage map of lentil comprising 333 centimorgans (cM) was constructed from 20
restriction fragment length, 8 isozyme, and 6 morphological markers segregating in a single …
