Crop populations derived from experimental crosses enable the genetic dissection of
complex traits and support modern plant breeding. Among these, multi-parent populations …

Crop genomics remains a key element in ensuring scientific progress to secure global food
security. It has been two decades since the sequence of the first plant genome, that of …

Today's increasingly unequal and resource intensive development model degrades and
surpasses Earth's finite capacity to sustain human well-being. Society must restore this …

It was suggested that the most effective way to improve rice grain yield is to increase the
grain number per panicle (GN) through the breeding practice in recent decades. GN is a …

The compelling need to increase global agricultural production requires new breeding
approaches that facilitate exploiting the diversity available in the plant genetic resources …

The study was undertaken to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing yield and its
related traits using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the popular rice …

Heterotrimeric G-protein-mediated signaling is a key mechanism to transduce a multitude of
endogenous and environmental signals in diverse organisms. The scope and expectations …

Despite the increasing use of protoplasts in plant biotechnology research, shoot
regeneration from protoplasts remains challenging. In this study, we investigated the factors …

Breeding has played an important role in the mariculture and industrialization of kelp in
China. However, the current kelp breeding systems in China have encountered some …

Super Basmati is an elite variety with extra-long grains and superior quality but its yield is
severely affected by water stress. Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from the cross …
