Crop improvement programmes began with traditional breeding practices since the
inception of agriculture. Farmers and plant breeders continue to use these strategies for crop …

As rice is an important staple food globally, research for development and enhancement of
its nutritional value it is an imperative task. Identification of nutrient enriched rice germplasm …

Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis allows to identify regions responsible for a trait and to
associate alleles with their effect on phenotypes. When using biallelic markers to find these …

A high-density genetic linkage map from a controlled cross of two oil palm (Elaeis
guineensis) genotypes was constructed based on Single Primer Enrichment Technology …

Six quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for adult plant resistance against oat crown rust (Puccinia
coronata f. sp. avenae) were identified from mapping three recombinant inbred populations …

In the face of climate change, bringing more useful alleles and genes from wild relatives of
wheat is crucial to develop climate-resilient varieties. We used two populations of …

Haliotis midae is one of the most important molluscs in South African commercial
aquaculture. In this study, a high‐resolution integrated linkage map was constructed, and …

Marker-assisted selection requires the identification of molecular markers associated with
major genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In this study, we used 167 doubled haploid …

Rice is considered as a model plant to map the complete genome and identify the genes in
the genome for various traits. Recent advance in molecular biology and statistical analysis …

Grain filling is an important trait of rice that affects the yield of grain-oriented crop species
with sink capacity-related traits. Here, we used a doubled haploid (DH) population derived …
