QTL mapping and mining of candidate genes for seed length in soybean

Genome-Wide Mapping Reveals Major and Stable Quantitative Trait Loci for Seed Oil Content in Soybean

Seed oil content is one of the primary breeding objectives in soybean. However, the genetic basis of seed oil content remains largely unexplored. In this study, we employed a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population consisting of 201 lines derived from a cross between Feidong and Guanyun, to identify quantitative trait...

Genome-Wide Association Study and Candidate Gene Mining for First Pod Height in Soybean

First pod height (FPH) is a critical agronomic trait in soybean because it directly affects mechanized harvesting efficiency and harvestable yield. Pods below the cutter-bar height are left uncollected, leading to direct seed loss. However, the genetic architecture underlying FPH remains largely underexplored. Here, we...

QTL mapping of starch, protein, and fatty acid traits reveals pleiotropic loci governing rice eating quality in a recombinant inbred lines population

Genome wide association mapping and haplotype analysis identify genetic loci and candidate genes associated with yield related traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple crops worldwide, and improving grain yield remains a major objective of rice breeding programs. Yield is a complex quantitative trait influenced by multiple agronomic characteristics, including grain yield per plant (GY), seed setting rate (SSR), plant height (...

GWAS-based identification of QTLs and candidate genes associated with seed oil content and oleic acid content in Brassica napus L

Multi-model genome-wide association studies identify stable QTLs and candidate genes for lodging resistance in indica rice

Lodging significantly limits rice yield and grain quality. Despite the identification of numerous QTLs and genes associated with lodging-related traits, the genetic framework for lodging resistance remains largely unclear. In this study, we evaluated 17 lodging-related traits over three consecutive years using a global...
