Effect of quantitative trait loci for seed shattering on abscission layer formation in Asian wild rice Oryza rufipogon
TL;DR: A significant effect on seed-shattering degree was observed for the introgression line carrying Nipponbare alleles atqSH3 and the two QTLs, suggesting an important role of qSH3 on seed shattering in coordination with the twoQTLs.

Book ChapterDOI
Acceleration of Forest and Fruit Tree Domestication by Genomic Selection
TL;DR: This chapter briefly examined the current status of major forest and fruit trees breeding across the world and the breeding strategies employed to improve the populations, and a summary of genomic resources available for major tree species.
