TGW3, a Major QTL that Negatively Modulates Grain Length and Weight in Rice

qGW, a Stable and Major QTL for Increasing of Grain Weight in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

In order to analyze the genetic components of agronomic traits among 116 F9 recombinant lines derived from crosses of Ahlamitarom × Sepidroud rice cultivars, an experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design in research farm of Gonbad Kavous University of Agriculture with three replications in 2016 and 2017. Genetic linkage map provided with 80 SSR markers, 28 iPBS Markers (79 p...

Identification and validation of a new grain weight QTL in rice.

The genetic control of grain weight (GW) remains poorly understood. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) determining the GW of rice were identified using a natural GW mutant, sgw. Using a segregating population derived from sgw (low GW) and cultivar 9311 ('9311'; indica, high GW), the chromosome segment associated with GW was detected on the short arm of chromosome 7. To validate and further refine t...

Increased pericarp cell length underlies a major QTL for grain 1 weight in hexaploid wheat 2 3

A large-effect QTL for grain weight in rice on chromosome 10

Grain yield of the rice can be enhanced through genetic manipulation of the yield components. Thousand grain weight is an important component which can be improved through conventional as well as molecular breeding approach. A major effect novel genomic region, TGW10, for high grain weight was identified through a bulked segregant analysis approach in Azucena × IR64 population. Markers associat...

QTL mapping of grain length in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using chromosome segment substitution lines.

Chromosome segment substitution (CSS) lines have the potential for use in QTL fine mapping and map-based cloning. The standard t-test used in the idealized case that each CSS line has a single segment from the donor parent is not suitable for non-idealized CSS lines carrying several substituted segments from the donor parent. In this study, we present a likelihood ratio test based on stepwise r...
