Further improvement of rice productivity remains a challenge. Breeding is perceived as an
important option to increase rice yield. However, the genetic progress of grain yield in most …

Many agronomically important traits are governed by several genes known as quantitative
trait loci (QTLs). The identification of important, QTL-controlled agricultural traits has been …

Grain yield is one of the most important indexes in rice breeding, which is governed by
quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Different mapping populations have been used to explore the …

A doubled haploid (DH) population of 125lines derived from IR64× Azucena, an indica–
japonica cross were grown in three different locations in India during the wet season of …

Food shortages have once again become a serious problem, not only because of world
population growth but also as a result of escalating demand for crops as a substrate for …

This study was conducted to determine whether quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling traits
of agronomic importance detected in recombinant inbred lines (RILs) are also expressed in …

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 …

Natural variation is the raw material of plant breeding and for centuries has been recognized
as a vital resource underpinning the world's food supply. More recently, plant biologists have …

To facilitate marker-assisted transfer of desirable genes for improvement of yield traits, we
used a set of backcross recombinant inbred lines (BRIL) derived from two elite parental …

Rice is a major food crop that sustains approximately half of the world population. Recent
worldwide improvements in the standard of living have increased the demand for high …
