Genotypic Variation in Fatty Acids in Whole Grain Sesame (Fatty Acids in Whole Grain Sesame)
Fatty acids (FAs) are important desirable compounds in oil crops. Here, we evaluated the amounts of 14 FAs in sesame grains using gas chromatography mass spectrometry and investigated the effects of genotype a...

Open AccessFunctional Haplotype and eQTL Analyses of Genes Affecting Cadmium Content in Cultivated Rice
Rice is a major food resource for Asian countries including Korea. However, most Asian countries are facing food safety problems due to cropland contamination by heavy metals. Thus, this study was conducted to...

Genome-wide association study of vitamin E using genoty** by sequencing in sesame (Sesamum indicum)
At least eight structurally related forms of vitamin E occur in nature, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols, all of which are potent membrane-soluble antioxidants. In this study, we detected two major isofo...

Open AccessSignatures of differential selection in chloroplast genome between japonica and indica
The domestication process of Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) is complicated. It’s well established that Oryza rufipogon is the ancestor of Asian rice, although the number of domestication events still controversial....

Open AccessAnalysis of segregation distortion and its relationship to hybrid barriers in rice
Segregation distortion (SD) is a frequently observed occurrence in map** populations generated from crosses involving divergent genotypes. In the present study, ten genetic linkage maps constructed from reci...

QTL analyses of heterosis for grain yield and yield-related traits in indica-japonica crosses of rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Two sets of rice materials, 166 RILs derived from a cross between Milyang 23 (Korean indica-type rice) and Tong 88-7 (japonica Rice), and BC1F1 hybrids derived from crosses between the RILs and the female parent,...

Identification of QTLs for hybrid fertility in inter-subspecific crosses of rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Two subspecies in rice, japonica and indica, have their own ecotypic traits. However, reproductive barriers such as spikelet sterility in hybrid progenies between subspecies have been an obstacle in breeding prog...

Map-based cloning of the ERECT PANICLE 3 gene in rice
Panicle architecture in rice can have a strong influence on yield. Using N-methyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis, we isolated an erect panicle mutant, Hep, from Hwasunchalbyeo, a glutinous japonica rice cultivar. Gene...

High-resolution map** of two rice brown planthopper resistance genes, Bph20(t) and Bph21(t), originating from Oryza minuta
Brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive insect pests of rice. Wild species of rice are a valuable source of resistance genes for develo** resistant cultivars. A molecular marker-based genetic ...

Fine map** and candidate gene analysis of hwh1 and hwh2, a set of complementary genes controlling hybrid breakdown in rice
Hybrid breakdown (HB), a phenomenon of reduced viability or fertility accompanied with retarded growth in hybrid progenies, often arises in the offspring of intersubspecific hybrids between indica and japonica in...
