A quantitative trait locus GW6 controls rice grain size and yield through the gibberellin pathway.

The Plant Journal, 2020
Grain size is one of the essential components determining rice yield and a target for both domestication and artificial breeding. Gibberellins (GAs) are diterpenoid phytohormones influencing diverse aspects of plant growth and development.

Identification of stable QTL controlling multiple yield components in a durum × cultivated emmer wheat population under field and greenhouse conditions

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
Crop yield gains are needed to keep pace with a growing global population and decreasing resources to produce food. Cultivated emmer wheat is a progenitor of durum wheat and a useful source of genetic variation for trait improvement in durum.

Mapping of Two Major QTLs Controlling Flowering Time in Brassica napus Using a High-Density Genetic Map

Plants, 2022
Research on the flowering habit of rapeseed is important for the selection of varieties adapted to specific ecological environments. Here, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for the days-to-flowering trait were identified using a doubled haploid population of

Detection of QTL for traits related to adaptation to sub-optimal climatic conditions in chickens

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2017
Background Growth traits can be used as indicators of adaptation to sub-optimal conditions. The current study aimed at identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) that control performance under variable temperature conditions in chickens.

Deciphering mechanisms underlying the genetic variation of general production and liver quality traits in the overfed mule duck by pQTL analyses

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2017
Background The aim of this study was to analyse the mechanisms that underlie phenotypic quantitative trait loci (QTL) in overfed mule ducks by identifying co-localized proteomic QTL (pQTL).

Mapping genetic determinants of host susceptibility to Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in mice. [PDF]

, 2016
Background: P. aeruginosa is one of the top three causes of opportunistic human bacterial infections. The remarkable variability in the clinical outcomes of this infection is thought to be associated with genetic predisposition.

QTL analysis across multiple environments reveals promising chromosome regions associated with yield-related traits in maize under drought conditions

Crop Journal, 2021
Drought is one of the most critical abiotic stresses influencing maize yield. Improving maize cultivars with drought tolerance using marker-assisted selection requires a better understanding of its genetic basis.

Mapping of serum amylase-1 and quantitative trait loci for milk production traits to cattle chromosome 4 [PDF]

, 1998
The present study was undertaken to confirm and refine the mapping of a quantitative trait locus in cattle for milk fat percentage that had earlier been reported to be linked to the serum amylase-1 locus, AM1.
