A High-Density Rice Genetic Linkage Map with 2275 Markers Using a Single F2 Population

TL;DR: 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 variety Nipponbare and the indica variety Kasalath, and permitted us to characterize meiotic recombinations in the whole genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome mapping, molecular markers and marker-assisted selection in crop plants

TL;DR: Applications of genome mapping and marker-assisted selection in crop improvement are reviewed and the use of MAS in breeding for disease and pest resistance is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome sequence and structure of rice chromosome 1

TL;DR: The essentially complete sequence of chromosome 1, the longest chromosome in the rice genome, is reported and characteristics of the chromosome structure and the biological insight gained from the sequence are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pib gene for rice blast resistance belongs to the nucleotide binding and leucine‐rich repeat class of plant disease resistance genes

TL;DR: The deduced amino acid sequence of the Pib gene product contains a nucleotide binding site (NBS) and leucine-rich repeats (LRRs); thus, Pib is a member of the NBS-LRR class of plant disease resistance genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and molecular dissection of quantitative traits in rice

TL;DR: In this review, recent progress of QTL analysis of several complex traits in rice is summarized and a strategy for positional cloning of genes at QTLs is discussed.
