Grain yield in rice is a complex trait multiplicatively determined by its three component traits:
number of panicles, number of grains per panicle, and grain weight; all of which are typical …

Grain weight is one of the most important components of grain yield and is controlled by
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) derived from natural variations in crops. However, the molecular …

An F 2 and an equivalent F 3 population derived from a cross between a high salt-tolerance
indica variety, Nona Bokra, and a susceptible elite japonica variety, Koshihikari, were …

An advanced backcross breeding strategy was used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
associated with eight agronomic traits in a BC 2 F 2 population derived from an interspecific …

Phosphorus (P) deficiency of soils is a major yield-limiting factor in rice production.
Increasing the P-deficiency tolerance of rice cultivars may represent a more cost-effective …

To understand the genetic basis of inbreeding depression and heterosis in rice, main-effect
and epistatic QTL associated with inbreeding depression and heterosis for grain yield and …

Advanced backcross QTL (AB-QTL) analysis was used to identify quantitative trait loci
(QTLs) for yield and yield components in a BC 2 F 2 population derived from a cross …

Kernel morphology and texture influence the value of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The
objectives of this study were to determine associations between kernel traits and molecular …

Rice (Oryza sativa) cultivar development currently faces the task of overcoming yield
plateaus, which is difficult due to the narrow genetic base of breeding programs. Oryza …

Domesticated rice differs from the wild progenitor in large arrays of morphological and
physiological traits. The present study was conducted to identify the genetic factors …
