9311 allele of OsNAR2.2 enhances nitrate transport to improve rice yield and nitrogen use efficiency
Summary Improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in rice is a requirement for future sustainable agricultural production. However, key factors and regulatory networks involved in NUE remain unclear. Here, QTL analysis, fine‐mapping and functional validation demonstrated that qCR4 encodes a putative high‐affinity nitrate transporter‐activating protein 2 ...

Summary Natural genetic variation can be used to improve important crop agronomic traits, and understanding the genetic basis of natural variation in fruit shape can help breeders develop pepper varieties that meet market demand. In this study, we identified a QTL controlling fruit length–width ratio by conventional genetic mapping, encoding a ...

Discovering Candidate Genes Regulated by GWAS Signals in Cis and Trans [PDF]
Understanding the genetic underpinnings of complex traits and diseases has been greatly advanced by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, a significant portion of trait heritability remains unexplained, known as ``missing heritability". Most GWAS loci reside in non-coding regions, posing challenges in understanding their functional impact ...

Background: Elevated parasite biomass in the human red blood cells can lead to increased malaria morbidity. The genes and mechanisms regulating growth and development of Plasmodium falciparum through its erythrocytic cycle are not well understood.

Four additional mouse crosses improve the lipid QTL landscape and identify Lipg as a QTL gene[S]
To identify genes controlling plasma HDL and triglyceride levels, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was performed in one backcross, (NZO/H1Lt × NON/LtJ) × NON/LtJ, and three intercrosses, C57BL/6J × DBA/2J, C57BL/6J × C3H/HeJ, and NZB/B1NJ × NZW ...

Summary Carotenoids are essential natural pigments that not only determine the commercial value of horticultural crops through colouration but also serve as vital antioxidants and provitamin A precursors in the human diet. Our previous research has demonstrated that blue light induces carotenoid biosynthesis in mango fruit.
