Leaves are the plant's solar panel and food factory, and leaf traits are always key issues to
investigate in plant research. Traditional methods for leaf trait measurement are time …

Leaf traits are often strongly correlated with yield, which poses a major challenge in rice
breeding. In the present study, using a panel of Vietnamese rice landraces genotyped with …

Abstract Background Increasing rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield is a crucial challenge for modern
agriculture. The ideal plant architecture is considered to be critical to enhance rice yield …

Background Improving the overall production of rice with high quality is a major target of
breeders. Mining potential yield-related loci have been geared towards developing efficient …

Though several genes governing various major traits have been reported in rice, their
superior haplotype combinations for developing ideal variety remains elusive. In this study …

Abstract Background Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the staple food for over half of
the world's population. Thus, improvement of cultivated rice is important for the development …

Abstract The Rice Core Collection of Japanese Landraces (JRC) consisting of 50
accessions was developed by the genebank at the National Agriculture and Food Research …

Background In this study we carried out a genome-wide association analysis for plant and
grain morphology and root architecture in a unique panel of temperate rice accessions …

Development and use of genome-wide informative simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers
and novel integrated genomic strategies are vital to drive genomics-assisted breeding …

It is hypothesized that the genome-wide genic markers may increase the prediction accuracy
of genomic selection for quantitative traits. To test this hypothesis, a set of candidate gene …
