Improving seedling vigor is an important objective of modern rice (Oryza saliva L.) breeding
programs. The purpose of this study was to identify and map quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

Previous QTL studies on seedling vigor in rice (Oryza sativa L.) were conducted all based on
laboratory germination tests. In the current study, a set of recombinant inbred lines derived …

Seedling-vigor is important for optimum stand establishment and increasing weed
competitive ability in rice cropping systems. In the current study, three seedling-vigor-related …

Seedling vigor is an important agricultural trait as direct-seeded rice technology becomes
widely applied. In order to investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying seedling vigor in …

Abstract Key message Twenty-seven QTLs were identified for rice seed vigor, in which 16
were novel QTLs. Fifteen elite parental combinations were designed for improving seed …

Seed vigor is an index of seed quality that is used to describe the rapid and uniform
germination and the establishment of strong seedlings in any environmental conditions …

Seed vigor is an important characteristic of seed quality, and rice cultivars with strong seed
vigor are desirable in direct-sowing rice production for optimum stand establishment. In the …

seedling-vigor is important for crop establishment. There have been reported quantitative
trait locus (QTL) analyses on seedling-vigor related morphological traits. However …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars of strong seedling and early vigor is one of the most important
factors associated with the increase of yield potential. With 285 recombinant inbred lines …

Seed vigor is an important seed quality trait in rice (Oryza sativa L.) that profoundly affects
seedling morphogenesis in different environments. Generally, highly vigorous seeds have …
