Key message We identified four chromosome regions harboring QTL for grain yield-related
traits, and breeder-friendly KASP markers were developed and validated for marker-assisted …

Pine trees produce large amounts of oleoresin to defend against biotic threats. Resin is
highly costly to produce and investment in its production must be accurately optimized in …

Plant height is an important agronomic trait for morphogenesis and grain yield formation in
wheat. In this study, we performed both normal and multivariate conditional quantitative trait …

Root traits are an important component for productive plant performance. Roots offer
immediate absorptive surfaces for water and nutrient acquisition and are thus critical to crop …

Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with important traits is one of the first
steps towards deploying marker‐assisted selection, but the lack of stability and consistency …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important fiber crop and an important
oilseed crop in the world. Developing drought tolerant cultivars is important to sustainable …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season, perennial grass valued as a
promising candidate species for bioenergy feedstock production. Biomass yield is the most …

In order to estimation genotypic correlation and heritability of some faba bean traits, 26 faba
bean genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three …

Anise is an annual plant belonging to Apiaceae family and fruit essential oil of this herb is
used in various pharmaceutical, cosmetic and beverage industries. Drought stress is one of …

Background: Mechanical resistance due to higher hydroxycinnamate content makes maize
tissues more recalcitrant to damage by insects, less digestible by ruminants, and less …
