Genetic identification and candidate gene analysis for loci of spike density in wheat

Genetic identification and characterization of a locus controlling productive tiller number with breeding value in Chinese endemic wheat

Identification of stable QTLs for spike length and density and development of KASP markers for wheat breeding

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 (...

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...

Genome wide association studies and expression analyses identify candidate genes for spot blotch resistance in bread wheat

The identified SNPs, alleles, haplotypes, and CGs may be used in marker-assisted selection and breeding programs to develop wheat varieties with enhanced resistance to SB.

Genome-wide association studies reveal genomic regions for kernel-related traits in durum wheat
