More accurate and precise phenotyping strategies are necessary to empower high-
resolution linkage mapping and genome-wide association studies and for training genomic …

Rice (Oryza sativa) grain shape is a key determinant of grain yield and market values.
Facilitated by advancements in genomics and various molecular markers, more than 400 …

The use of alkaline salt lands for crop production is hindered by a scarcity of knowledge and
breeding efforts for plant alkaline tolerance. Through genome association analysis of …

Manipulating grain size is an effective strategy for increasing cereal yields. Here we identify
a pathway composed of five subunits of the heterotrimeric G proteins that regulate grain …

Grain yield in many cereal crops is largely determined by grain size. Here we report the
genetic and molecular characterization of GS3, a major quantitative trait locus for grain size …

Key message In wheat, 2852 major QTLs of 8998 QTLs available for yield and related traits
were used for meta-analysis; 141 meta-QTLs were identified, which included 13 breeder's …

The worldwide production of maize (Zea mays L.) is frequently impacted by water scarcity
and as a result, increased drought tolerance is a priority target in maize breeding programs …

Grain morphology in wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been selected and manipulated even in
very early agrarian societies and remains a major breeding target. We undertook a large …

The OsGW2 gene is involved in rice grain development, influencing grain width and weight.
Its ortholog in wheat, TaGW2, was considered as a candidate gene related to grain …

Association mapping through linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis is a powerful tool for the
dissection of complex agronomic traits and for the identification of alleles that can contribute …
