Rice has been a staple food for more than half of the global population. Different parts of rice
grains contain different amounts of macro-and micro-nutrients. Polished white rice, which is …

Abstract Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) has been a challenge for complex traits
due to the use of populations with narrow genetic base. Most of QTL mapping studies were …

Chalk, an undesirable grain quality trait in rice, is primarily formed due to high temperatures
during the grain-filling process. Owing to the disordered starch granule structure, air spaces …

The frequent fluctuations in global climate variability (GCV), decreases in farmland and
irrigation water, soil degradation and erosion, and increasing fertilizer costs are the …

Chickpea yield is severely affected by drought stress, which is a complex quantitative trait
regulated by multiple small-effect genes. Identifying genomic regions associated with …

Rice is a staple food and well-known cereal plays a critical role in global food security and
economics. Assorted varieties of rice grains are currently in high demand in the market. Rice …

This study investigated novel quantitative traits loci (QTLs) associated with the control of
grain shape and size as well as grain weight in rice. We employed a joint-strategy multiple …

Quality-related traits are some of the most important traits in rice, and screening and
breeding rice lines with excellent quality are common ways for breeders to improve the …

Aims The contribution of sulphur (S)-induced responses to chromium (Cr) tolerance of rice
plants is not yet fully elucidated. It is hypothesised that S nutrition mitigates the accumulation …

Forage quality determined mainly by protein content and fiber composition has a crucial
influence on digestibility and nutrition intake for animal feeding. To explore the genetic basis …
