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.

Identifying QTLs Related to Grain Filling Using a Doubled Haploid Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Population

Agronomy, 2023
Grain filling is an important trait of rice that affects the yield of grain-oriented crop species with sink capacity-related traits. Here, we used a doubled haploid (DH) population derived from a cross between 93-11 (P1, indica) and Milyang352 (P2 ...

krn1, a major quantitative trait locus for kernel row number in maize.

New Phytologist, 2019
Kernel row number is a fundamental component of maize (Zea mays) yield and an important target for maize breeding. The revolutionary transition from the two-rowed teosinte to maize with increased kernel row numbers dramatically enhanced yields during ...

Increased pericarp cell length underlies a major quantitative trait locus for grain weight in hexaploid wheat.

New Phytologist, 2017
Crop yields must increase to address food insecurity. Grain weight, determined by grain length and width, is an important yield component, but our understanding of the underlying genes and mechanisms is limited.

The Genetic Structures and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Ear Traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Cells, 2023
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s staple food crops. In order to feed the growing world population, improving maize yield is a top priority for breeding programs. Ear traits are important determinants of maize yield, and are mostly quantitatively

Protein quantitative trait locus study in obesity during weight-loss identifies a leptin regulator

Nature Communications, 2017
Thousands of genetic variants have been associated with complex traits through genome-wide association studies. However, the functional variants or mechanistic consequences remain elusive. Intermediate traits such as gene expression or protein levels are
