Molecular mapping studies which aim to identify genetic basis of diverse agronomic traits
are vital for marker-assisted crop improvement. Numerous Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) …

This study investigated novel quantitative traits loci (QTLs) associated with the control of
grain shape and size as well as grain weight in rice. We employed a joint-strategy multiple …

In the current study, we used a linkage mapping–Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS)
joint strategy to investigate quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing rice grain shape and …

Grain appearance is one of the most important attributes of rice. It is determined by grain
size, shape, and weight, which in turn influences the rice yield and market value. In this …

Background Grain weight and grain shape are important agronomic traits that affect the
grain yield potential and grain quality of rice. Both grain weight and grain shape are …

Grain size is an important component of quality and harvest traits in the field of rice breeding.
Although numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of grain size in rice have been reported, the …

To uncover the genetics of rice grain weight, we constructed an RIL population derived from
a cross between a large grain accession M201 and a small size variety JY293. Specific …

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

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 …

Grain size is one of the key traits that determines the quality of Basmati rice from the
consumers' as well as the traders' point of view. Though many genes governing grain size …
