Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis of agronomic traits in a maize recombinant inbred line population....

Authors: H.M. Zhang, G.Q. Hui, Q. Luo, Y. Sun and X.H. Liu

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. In this study, 13 agronomic traits of a recombinant inbred line population that was derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4 were investigated in maize: ear diameter, ear length, ear axis diameter, ear weight, plant height, ear height, days to pollen..

Detection of quantitative trait loci for kernel oil and protein concentration in a B73 and Zheng58 maize cross

Authors: Z. Yang, X. Li, N. Zhang, Y.N. Zhang, H.W. Jiang, J. Gao, B.K. Kuai, Y.L. Ding, X.Q. Huang

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important food crops throughout the world, and provides oil and proteins to humans and livestock. Kernel oil and protein content in maize are two complex quantitative traits. In order to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) controlling oil and protein concentration in maize kernels, and to evaluate their genetic ef.. Read More»

Quantitative trait locus analysis for ear height in maize based on a recombinant inbred line population

Authors: Z.Q. Li, H.M. Zhang, X.P. Wu, Y. Sun and X.H. Liu

Maize (Zea mays L.) is among the crops with the greatest worldwide economic importance. Ear height is a very important trait that is considered necessary in maize and is related to morphology, lodging, and yield. To realize its genetic basis, an F9 recombinant inbred line population and a genetic map consisting of 101 simple s.. Read More»

A study on natural recovery of tassel fertilization and doubling method in maize haploids

Authors: L. Jiang, X.Y. Yang, X.Y. Li, P.K. Deng, G.X. Jing, X.Q. Wang,Z. Xing, R.G. Zhao

Doubling method is the technical barriers in maize haploid breeding. It was very important to establish the independent intellectual property rights for doubling method. In this experiment, the maize haploid inducer, TG15, was used for producing maternal haploids. Also, haploids were obtained from two kinds of maternal genotyp.. Read More»

Genome-wide analysis of immunophilin FKBP genes and expression patterns in Zea mays

Authors: W.-W. Wang, Q. Ma, Y. Xiang, S.-W. Zhu and B.-J. Cheng

The receptors for the immunosuppression drugs FK506 and rapamycin are called FKBPs (FK506-binding proteins). FKBPs comprise a large family; they are found in many species, including bacteria, fungi, animals, and plants. As a class of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase enzymes, the FKBP genes have been the focus of recent stud.. Read More»

Meta-analysis of constitutive QTLs for disease resistance in maize and its synteny conservation in the rice genome

Authors: L. Zhao, H.J. Liu, C.X. Zhang, Q.Y. Wang and X.H. Li

We collected data regarding 340 disease resistance quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from the maize genomic database (MaizeGDB). We constructed an integrated linkage map and analyzed this map by using the BioMercator 2.1 software with IBM2 2008 Neighbors genetic linkage map as a reference. We used a meta-analysis method to identify five â??consensusâ? sy.. Read More»

Heterotic groups in tropical maize germplasm by test crosses and simple sequence repeat markers

Authors: C.G. Aguiar, I. Schuster, A.T. Amaral J?ºnior, C.A. Scapim and E.S.N. Vieira

The objectives of the present study were to determine heterotic groups of germplasm lines of tropical maize by test crosses and by simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to compare five grouping methods of heterogeneous maize. Sixteen lines of nine populations in the S5 generation were evaluated in test crosses with three testers. The results of four ex.. Read More»

QTL verification of grain protein content and its correlation with oil content by using connected RIL populations of high-oil maize

Authors: G.H. Yang, Y.B. Dong, Y.L. Li, Q.L. Wang, Q.L. Shi and Q. Zhou

Maize with high grain protein and oil contents offers great advantages for human food and animal feed. In this study, grain protein contents of 282 and 263 F7:8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of 2 crosses were evaluated in 4 environments within and between populations. The RILs were developed from crosses between an inbred hi.. Read More»

Distinction between plant samples according to allele dosage by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction

Authors: F.A. Martins P.C.S. Carneiro C.T. Guimar?£es J.V. Magalh?£es J.E.S. Carneiro C.D. Cruz

The lack of informativity of samples from heterozygotic individuals is one of the hindrances in the mapping of quantitative trait loci of outbred populations, since it is not normally possible to identify the origin of each allele. One way to include these individuals in analyses would be to genotype their endosperm, consideri.. Read More»
