Chalkiness is a key determinant that directly affects the appearance and cooking quality of
rice grains. Previously, Floury endosperm 2 (FLO2) was reported to be involved in the …

Panicle length (PL) is an important trait that determines panicle architecture and strongly
affects grain yield and quality in rice. However, this trait has not been well characterized …

A stable back cross introgression line IL65 (IET22161)(Swarna/O. nivara-BC2F6) of rice was
used to map flag leaf related traits in F2 and F3 populations. A total of 12 QTLs were …

Yield improvement is a top priority for maize breeding. Kernel size and weight are important
determinants of maize grain yield. In this study, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population …

Rice is an important cereal for human consumption. Identification of QTLs for important
agronomic traits with high resolution is essential to the identification of genes and marker …

In this review, we describe and integrate the latest knowledge on the signaling role of
proteins and peptides in the stress-induced microspore embryogenesis (ME) in some crop …

Plant height (PH) and its component traits are critical determinants of lodging resistance and
strongly influence yield in rice. The genetic architecture of PH and its component traits were …

The demand for superior grain quality represents a major issue in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
breeding. To study the genetic basis of rice grain quality, including traits specifying grain …

Plant height is the important determinant for the yield formation of rice, and selecting of an
optimal plant height is necessary during rice breeding to achieve ideal biomass and lodging …

Grain yield-related traits and grain quality-related traits are important for rice cultivars. The
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) involved in controlling the natural variation in these traits among …
