High-density genetic linkage maps of crop species are particularly useful in detecting qualitative and quantitative trait loci for important agronomic traits and in improving the power of classical approaches to identify candidate genes. The aim of this study was to develop a high-density genetic linkage map in a durum wheat recombinant inbred lines population (RIL) derived from two elite wheat...

Abstract Sclerotinia blight is a soilborne disease caused by minor Jagger and can produce severe decrease in yield. Cultural management strategies chemical treatment are not completely effective; therefore, growing peanut‐resistant varieties likely to be the most effective control method for this disease. resistance has been identified wild Arachis species further transferred peanut elite culti...

To meet the demands of different wheat-based food products, traits related to end-use quality become indispensable components in wheat improvement. Thus, markers associated with these are valuable for timely evaluation protein content, kernel physical characteristics, and rheological properties. Hereunder, we report mapping results quantitative trait loci (QTLs) linked traits. We used a dense g...

Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) has emerged as a useful model system for studying traits unique to graminaceous species including bioenergy crop grasses owing to its amenability to laboratory experimentation and the availability of extensive genetic and germplasm resources. Considerable natural variation has been uncovered for a variety of traits including flowering time, vernalization r...

Flowering-related traits in maize are affected by complex factors and are important for the improvement of cropping systems in the maize zone. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) detected using different materials and methods usually vary. In the present study, 266 maize (Zea mays) F2:3 families and 301 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross between 08-641 (founding parent from southeas...

Bread wheat chromosome 3A has been shown to contain genes/QTLs controlling grain yield and other agronomic traits. The objectives of this study were to generate high-density physical and genetic-linkage maps of wheat homoeologous group 3 chromosomes and reveal the physical locations of genes/QTLs controlling yield and its component traits, as well as agronomic traits, to obtain a precise estima...

background and objectives: the development of high yielding cultivars with wide adaptability is the ultimate aim of plant breeders. however, attaining this goal is made more complicated by genotype-environment interactions. the genotype by environment interaction is a major problem in the study of quantitative traits because it complicates the interpretation of genetic experiments and makes pre...

A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was produced based on a wide cross between the rapid-cycling and self-compatible genotypes L58, a Caixin vegetable type, and R-o-18, a yellow sarson oil type. A linkage map based on 160 F7 lines was constructed using 100 Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 130 AFLP®, 27 InDel, and 13 publicly available SSR markers. The map covers a total length of ...
