We have developed a new DH mapping population for oilseed rape, named TNDH, using
genetically and phenotypically diverse parental lines. We used the population in the …

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection experiments have often been restricted to large biallelic
populations. Use of connected multiparental crosses has been proposed to increase the …

Grain length in rice plays an important role in determining rice appearance, milling, cooking
and eating quality. In this study, the genetic basis of grain length was dissected into six main …

Oil content in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is generally regarded as a character with high
heritability that is negatively correlated with protein content and influenced by plant …

Suboptimal phosphorus availability is a primary constraint for terrestrial plant growth.
Seminal roots play an important role in acquisition of nutrients by plant seedlings. The length …

Modifying plant root systems is considered a means of crop improvement targeted to low-
resource environments, particularly low nutrient and drought-prone agriculture. The …

Two sets of reciprocal introgression line (IL) populations, ie, ILs with Lemont as recurrent
parent (IL_LT) and ILs with Teqing as recurrent parent (IL_TQ), were developed and …

Abstract Xiangzamian 2 (XZM2) was the most widely cultivated cotton hybrid planted as F 1
hybrids and as selfed F 2 seeds in China before the release of transgenic Bt hybrids. By …

Most agronomic traits of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) are quantitatively inherited and
affected by environment. The importance of epistasis as the genetic basis for complex traits …

In allopolyploid species, fair meiosis could be challenged by homeologous chromosome
pairing and is usually achieved by the action of homeologous pairing suppressor genes …
