Increasing the yield of soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) is a main aim of soybean breeding.
The 100-seed weight is a critical factor for soybean yield. To facilitate genetic analysis of …

Background Plant height (PH) is an important agronomic trait and is closely related to yield
in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Previous studies have identified many QTLs for PH. Due …

Chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) are useful tools for precise mapping of
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and the evaluation of gene action and interaction in inter …

As one of the most important crops, Asian cultivated rice has evolved into a complex group
including several subgroups adapting various eco-climate-systems around the globe. Here …
