Characterisation and Fine Mapping of a Dwarf Locus BnDF3 Encoding a GSK3 Kinase in Brassica napus

Results demonstrated that BnDF3 is a gain‐of‐function allele functioning as the gain‐of‐function BIN2 gene in brassinosteroid (BR) signalling pathway, which may provide both a functional marker and a novel genetic resource useful in variety breeding targeted to strong lodging resistance.

A Novel ZmLG1 Allele as a Genetic Resource for Breeding Compact Plant Architecture in Maize

Background: Leaf angle is a key determinant of plant architecture and yield under high-density planting. Loss of the ligule reduces leaf angle, offering a strategy for breeding compact maize. This study aims to identify the genetic basis of the liguleless mutant jd30 and develop a functional marker for breeding. Method...

Identification of ZmPH1 as a plant height novel gene in maize.

Plant height is a key agricultural trait for lodging resistance in maize. To explore key genes regulating plant height, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using a large population of 1149 inbred lines. Plant height (PH), ear height (EH), and ear height coefficient (EH/PH) in this population followed a...

Fine mapping and candidate gene analysis of qKnps-2A for kernel number per spike in wheat

Kernel number per spike (KNPS) is a crucial determinant of wheat yield. Previous studies identified qKnps-2A as a major stable QTL for KNPS on chromosome 2A using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from a cross between the semi-winter wheat cultivar Kenong 9204 and the winter wheat cultivar Ji...

BSA-Seq-Based QTL Mapping for the Height of the First Fruiting Branch Node of Cotton and the Development of Molecular Markers

The height of the first fruiting branch node (HFFBN) is a core indicator for mechanical harvesting of cotton, and the development of molecular markers for this trait is important for accelerating the breeding process. In this study, using bulked segregant analysis coupled with whole-genome sequencing (BSA-seq), one qua...
