cM on chromosome 1 at 87 Mb and production markers with high prediction accuracy were …

A set of 210 F2: 3 families developed from 5003 (107) and 178 were used to identify
quantitative trait loci (QTL) under high and low phosphorus treatments at Taian and Yantai …

We conducted a comparative analysis of the root metabolome of six parental maize inbred
lines and their 14 corresponding hybrids showing fresh weight heterosis. We demonstrated …

Using a 141 F 2 population generated from maize inbred B64× teosinte Zea nicaraguensis

Key message QTL analysis revealed 11 QTL underlying flowering time and fruit size
variation in the semi-wild Xishuangbanna cucumber, of which, FT6. 2 and FS5. 2 played the …

Maize is an important crop for food, feed, forage, and fuel across tropical and temperate
areas of the world. Diversity studies at genetic, molecular, and functional levels have …

Soil salinity negatively affects growth and development as well as yield and fiber quality of
cotton. The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for traits related to salt tolerance …

The objective of this investigation was to map QTL controlling oil, protein, and starch
concentrations in maize grain and to evaluate their genetic effects. The mapping population …

The phosphorus efficiency, relative biologic characteristics and relative root exudations as
well as the quantitative trait loci associated with these traits were determined for an F 2: 3 …
