Research Advances and Perspectives on Early Flowering Traits in Cucumber [PDF]
PlantsEarly flowering refers to the phenomenon in which the first flower appears in fewer days than normal, regardless of the sex of the flower. It is a significant feature impacting the early maturity and economic yield of cucumbers. The early flowering trait

qMrdd2, a novel quantitative resistance locus for maize rough dwarf disease
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Maize rough dwarf disease (MRDD), a widespread disease caused by four pathogenic viruses, severely reduces maize yield and grain quality. Resistance against MRDD is a complex trait that controlled by many quantitative trait loci (QTL) and ...

Divergent combinations of cis-regulatory elements control the evolution of phenotypic plasticity.
PLoS Biology, 2023 The widespread occurrence of phenotypic plasticity across all domains of life demonstrates its evolutionary significance. However, how plasticity itself evolves and how it contributes to evolution is poorly understood.

Identifying and Characterizing Candidate Genes Contributing to a Grain Yield QTL in Wheat
Plants, 2023 The current study focuses on identifying the candidate genes of a grain yield QTL from a double haploid population, Westonia × Kauz. The QTL region spans 20 Mbp on the IWGSC whole-genome sequence flank with 90K SNP markers.

Virulence attributes and hyphal growth of C. neoformans are quantitative traits and the MATalpha allele enhances filamentation. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2006 Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal human pathogen with a bipolar mating system. It undergoes a dimorphic transition from a unicellular yeast to hyphal filamentous growth during mating and monokaryotic fruiting. The traditional sexual cycle that leads to

eLife, 2022 Mapping the genetic basis of complex traits is critical to uncovering the biological mechanisms that underlie disease and other phenotypes. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in humans and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in model organisms can

QTLminer: identifying genes regulating quantitative traits
BMC Bioinformatics, 2010 Background Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping identifies genomic regions that likely contain genes regulating a quantitative trait. However, QTL regions may encompass tens to hundreds of genes. To find the most promising candidate genes that regulate

A triad of highly divergent polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR) haplotypes with major effect on IgA concentration in bovine milk. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The aim of this study was to determine a genetic basis for IgA concentration in milk of Bos taurus. We used a Holstein-Friesian x Jersey F2 crossbred pedigree to undertake a genome-wide search for QTL influencing IgA concentration and yield in colostrum ...

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
