Recent progress in the generation of a molecular genetic map and markers for rice has
made possible a new phase of mapping individual genes associated with complex traits …

Climate change affects agricultural productivity worldwide. Increased prices of food
commodities are the initial indication of drastic edible yield loss, which is expected to …

Endogenous genetic factors and environmental signals control the time of flowering in
plants. One of the environmental signals is photoperiod. Genetic control mechanisms for the …

Silicon is beneficial to plant growth and helps plants to overcome abiotic and biotic stresses
by preventing lodging (falling over) and increasing resistance to pests and diseases, as well …

A total of 2414 new di-, tri-and tetra-nucleotide non-redundant SSR primer pairs,
representing 2240 unique marker loci, have been developed and experimentally validated …

A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling response to photoperiod, Hd1, was
identified by means of a map-based cloning strategy. High-resolution mapping using 1505 …

Background: Previous studies on the effect of interferon therapy on the incidence of
hepatocellular carcinoma have not sufficiently assessed degree of liver fibrosis, a major risk …

The integration of metabolomics and transcriptomics can provide precise information on
gene‐to‐metabolite networks for identifying the function of unknown genes unless there has …

The genetic improvement of drought resistance is essential for stable and adequate crop
production in drought-prone areas. Here we demonstrate that alteration of root system …

A 2275-marker genetic map of rice (Oryza sativa L.) covering 1521.6 cM in the Kosambi
function has been constructed using 186 F2 plants from a single cross between the japonica …
