Open AccessOptimization of Multi-Generation Multi-location Genomic Prediction Models for Recurrent Genomic Selection in an Upland Rice Population
Genomic selection is a worthy breeding method to improve genetic gain in recurrent selection breeding schemes. The integration of multi-generation and multi-location information could significantly improve gen...

Open AccessMarker-Assisted Introgression of the Salinity Tolerance Locus Saltol in Temperate Japonica Rice
Rice is one of the most salt sensitive crops at seedling, early vegetative and reproductive stages. Varieties with salinity tolerance at seedling stage promote an efficient growth at early stages in salt affec...

Open AccessGenomic prediction of zinc-biofortification potential in rice gene bank accessions
A genomic prediction model successfully predicted grain Zn concentrations in 3000 gene bank accessions and this was verified experimentally with selected potential donors having high on-farm grain-Zn in Madaga...

Open AccessDHOEM: a statistical simulation software for simulating new markers in real SNP marker data
Numerous simulation tools based on specific assumptions have been proposed to simulate populations. Here we present a simulation tool named DHOEM (densification of haplotypes by loess regression and maximum li...

Open AccessDevelopment and GBS-genoty** of introgression lines (ILs) using two wild species of rice, O. meridionalis and O. rufipogon, in a common recurrent parent, O. sativa cv. Curinga
Two populations of interspecific introgression lines (ILs) in a common recurrent parent were developed for use in pre-breeding and QTL map**. The ILs were derived from crosses between cv Curinga, a tropical jap...

Positional cloning of the rice male sterility gene ms-IR36, widely used in the inter-crossing phase of recurrent selection schemes
The monogenetic recessive male-sterile gene ms-IR36 is widely used to facilitate the inter-crossing phase of recurrent selection in rice (Oryza sativa), but its segregation within the progeny disturbs other breed...

Molecular tagging and validation of microsatellite markers linked to the low germination stimulant gene (lgs) for Striga resistance in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]
Striga is a devastating parasitic weed in Africa and parts of Asia. Low Striga germination stimulant activity, a well-known resistance mechanism in sorghum, is controlled by a single recessive ge...
