Continuous rise in the human population has resulted in an upsurge in food demand, which
in turn demand grain yield enhancement of cereal crops, including rice. Rice yield is …

Rice is a principal food crop for more than half of the global population. Grain number and
grain weight (2Gs) are the two complex traits controlled by several quantitative trait loci …

Key message A stable QTL associated with rice grain type with a large effect value was
found in multiple environments, and its candidate genes were verified by genetic …

Higher yields of rice have always been a predominant goal in rice breeding techniques.
However, the inheritances of rice yield and its components are still unknown, and no …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield enhancement is one of the prime objectives of plant breeders.
Elucidation of the inheritance of grain weight, a key yield component trait, is of paramount …

Yield is the most important and complex trait for genetic improvement in crops, and marker-
assisted selection enhances the improvement efficiency. The USDA rice mini-core collection …

Grains number is one of the most important agronomic traits in the determination of rice
productivity. To explore the underlying genetic basis of grain number in rice, quantitative trait …

Rice is one of the most important global food crops and a primary source of calories for more
than half of the world's population. Rice production increased steadily during the green …

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 …

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 …
