Recent progress in the generation of a molecular genetic map and markers for rice has
made possible a new phase of mapping individual genes associated with complex traits …

Key message CSSLs are a complete library of introgression lines with chromosomal
segments of usually a distant genotype in an adapted background and are valuable genetic …

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 …

Introgression lines (ILs) are useful tools for precise mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs)
and the evaluation of gene action or interaction in theoretical studies. A set of 159 ILs …

Rice appearance quality, including traits specifying grain dimension and endosperm
chalkiness, represents a major problem in many rice-producing areas of the world. In this …

Fine mapping was carried out on three putative QTLs (tentatively designated as Hd-1 to Hd-
3) of five such QTLs controlling heading date in rice that had been earlier identified using an …

Genetic maps of Brassica napus were constructed from four segregating populations of
doubled haploid lines. Each mapping population had the same male parent and used 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 …

To facilitate the genetic analysis of quantitative traits and the use of marker-assisted
breeding in rice, we developed a novel mapping population consisting of 39 chromosome …

The use of plant genetic resources (PGR) in crop improvement, followed by adoption,
cultivation and consumption or marketing of the improved cultivars by farmers, is one of the …
