Natural variation in Ghd7 is an important regulator of heading date and yield potential in rice

TL;DR: It is shown that the quantitative trait locus (QTL) Ghd7, isolated from an elite rice hybrid and encoding a CCT domain protein, has major effects on an array of traits in rice, including number of grains per panicle, plant height and heading date.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Basis of Drought Resistance at Reproductive Stage in Rice: Separation of Drought Tolerance from Drought Avoidance

TL;DR: The genetic bases of DT and DA at reproductive stage in rice were analyzed using a recombinant inbred line population from a cross between an indica lowland and a tropical japonica upland cultivar, indicating that DT andDA had distinct genetic bases.
Journal ArticleDOI

QTL analysis for flag leaf characteristics and their relationships with yield and yield traits in rice.

TL;DR: Correlation analysis revealed that flag leaf area increased grain yield by increasing spikelet number per panicle, however, the physiological traits including degree of greenness and stay-green traits were not or negatively correlated to grain yield and yield traits, which may arise from the negative relation between degree ofgreenness and flag leaf size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic analysis for drought resistance of rice at reproductive stage in field with different types of soil

TL;DR: Correlation and QTL congruence between root traits and putative drought tolerance traits revealed that drought avoidance (via thick and deep root traits) was the main genetic basis of drought resistance in sandy soil condition, while drought tolerance may play more role in the genetic basis in paddy soil condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fine mapping of a major quantitative trait loci, qSSP7, controlling the number of spikelets per panicle as a single Mendelian factor in rice

TL;DR: Results suggested that recombination suppression occurred in the region and positional cloning strategy is infeasible for qSPP7 isolation and the higher grain yield of Minghui 63 homozygote in hybrid rice could further improve its yield.
