Characterization of QTLs for grain weight from New Plant Type rice cultivars through the development of near-isogenic lines with an IR 64 background
Grain weight (GW), one of the yield components of rice (Oryza sativa L.), is an important trait for improving rice productivity. In the 1990s, New Plant Type (NPT) rice breeding focused on improving the yield pot...

QTL for spikelet number from a high-yielding rice variety, Hoshiaoba, detected in an introgression line with the genetic background of an indica rice variety, IR64
Total spikelet number per panicle (TSN) is thought to be one of the most important agronomic traits associated with grain production in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We previously reported the development of 334 introg...

Fine map** and identification of tightly linked DNA markers of blast resistance gene Pia by using an introgression line
An introgression line (INL) for a major rice blast resistance gene, Pia, was developed, with the genetic background of a blast susceptible variety, US-2. The reaction pattern of the INL was characterized by using...
