Control of Thousand-Grain Weight by OsMADS56 in Rice. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Grain weight and size are important traits determining grain yield and influencing grain quality in rice. In a previous study, a quantitative trait locus controlling thousand-grain weight (TGW) in rice, qTGW10-20.8, was mapped in a 70.7 kb region on ...

Identification of SMG3, a QTL Coordinately Controls Grain Size, Grain Number per Panicle, and Grain Weight in Rice [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Grain size, grain number per panicle, and grain weight are key agronomic traits that determine grain yield in rice. However, the molecular mechanisms coordinately controlling these traits remain largely unknown.

Genes Impacting Grain Weight and Number in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ssp. aestivum). [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2022 The primary goal of common wheat (T. aestivum) breeding is increasing yield without negatively impacting the agronomic traits or product quality. Genetic approaches to improve the yield increasingly target genes that impact the grain weight and number ...

Understanding complex genetic architecture of rice grain weight through QTL-meta analysis and candidate gene identification. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for rice grain weight identified using bi-parental populations in various environments were found inconsistent and have a modest role in marker assisted breeding and map-based cloning programs.

Wheat grain width: a clue for re-exploring visual indicators of grain weight. [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2022 AbstractMean grain weight (MGW) is among the most frequently measured parameters in wheat breeding and physiology. Although in the recent decades, various wheat grain analyses (e.g. counting, and determining the size, color, or shape features) have been facilitated thanks to the automated image processing systems, MGW estimations has been limited to ...

Major Genomic Regions for Wheat Grain Weight as Revealed by QTL Linkage Mapping and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2022 Grain weight is a key determinant for grain yield potential in wheat, which is highly governed by a type of quantitative genetic basis. The identification of major quantitative trait locus (QTL) and functional genes are urgently required for molecular ...
