The identification and isolation of genes underlying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated
with agronomic traits in crops have been recently accelerated thanks to next-generation …

The root system architecture is an important complex trait in rice. With changing climatic
conditions and soil nutrient deficiencies, there is an immediate need to breed nutrient-use …

The genetic dissection of agronomically important traits in closely related Japanese rice
cultivars is still in its infancy mainly because of the narrow genetic diversity within japonica …

Background: Esotropia and exotropia are two major phenotypes of comitant strabismus. It
remains controversial whether esotropia and exotropia would share common genetic …

The current progress in crop research has provided a useful benchmark to evaluate crop-
breeding improvement using genomics and molecular breeding techniques. The generation …

Soybean is a leading oilseed crop and contribute to a major part of the economy in many
countries. However, soybean is affected by several diseases, reducing its productivity …

Cotton cultivars with reduced fiber-seed attachment force have the potential to be ginned
faster with less energy. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) …

As the direct seeding of rice is getting popular, the farmers have shifted from traditional
transplantation method to direct seeding method. The problem with this method however is …
