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 …

Rice is one of the most important crops in the world. The wild species of rice are expected to
have novel beneficial alleles that have been lost from cultivated rice during the process of …

Abstract Worldwide, more than 3.5 billion people depend on rice for more than 20% of their
daily calories. Global rice demand is estimated to rise from 723 million tons in 2015 to 763 …

Rapid and cost-effective genotyping of large mapping populations can be achieved by
sequencing a reduced representation of the genome of every individual in a given …

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 …

Rice improvement depends on the availability of genetic variation, and AA genome Oryza
species are the natural reservoir of favorable alleles that are useful for rice breeding. To …

The African wild rice species Oryza longistaminata has several beneficial traits compared to
cultivated rice species, such as resistance to biotic stresses, clonal propagation via …

Backcross inbred lines (BILs) derived from elite x wild crosses are very useful for basic
studies and breeding. The aim of this study was to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

As a natural genetic reservoir, wild rice contains many favorable alleles and mutations
conferring high yield and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, there are few …

The narrow base of genetic diversity of modern rice varieties is mainly attributed to the
overuse of the common backbone parents that leads to the lack of varied favorable alleles in …
