Open AccessGenome-Wide Association Study of Rice Rooting Ability at the Seedling Stage
Rice rooting ability is a complex agronomical trait that displays heterosis and plays an important role in rice growth and production. Only a few quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been identified by bi-paren...

Open AccessQuantitative trait loci identification and genetic diversity analysis of panicle structure and grain shape in rice
Panicle structure and grain shape are important components of rice architecture that directly contribute to rice yield and are regulated by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In this study, a doubled haploid (DH)...

Open AccessDetecting novel loci underlying rice blast resistance by integrating a genome-wide association study and RNA sequencing
Rice (Oryza sativa) blast disease causes great annual yield losses and quality reductions. Limited resistance genes have been identified. Here, a genome-wide association study, together with an RNA sequencing ana...

Genetic Dissection for Chlorophyll Content of the Top Three Leaves During Grain Filling in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Leaf senescence and the consequent decline in chlorophyll (Chl) content is a normal event in the life cycle of plants. Although many studies on Chl content or leaf senescence in rice have been conducted, the ...
