Background Improving yield and yield-related traits is the crucial goal in breeding
programmes of cereals. Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis discovers the most stable QTLs …

Improving grain yield potential in rice is an important step toward addressing global food
security challenges. The meta-QTL analysis offers stable and robust QTLs irrespective of the …

Several reports on mapping and introgression of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield and
related traits from wild species showed their importance in yield improvement. The aim of …

Background Rice is staple food for more than half of the world's population including two
billion Asians, who obtain 60-70% of their energy intake from rice and its derivatives. To …

The study was undertaken to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing yield and its
related traits using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the popular rice …

Oryza nivara, an annual wild AA-genome species of rice, is an important gene pool for
broadening the genetic diversity of cultivated rice (O. sativa L.). Towards identifying and …

Rice yield is a complex trait controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In the past three
decades, thousands of QTLs for rice yield traits have been detected, but only a very small …

Rice, which supports more than half the population worldwide, is one of the most important
food crops. Thus, potential yield-related quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) and QTN-by …

Using an accession of common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) collected from Yuanjiang
County, Yunnan Province, China, as the donor and an elite cultivar 93-11, widely used in …

Meta-QTL (MQTL) analysis is a robust approach for genetic dissection of complex
quantitative traits. Rice varieties adapted to non-flooded cultivation are highly desirable in …
