The development and use of molecular markers for the detection and exploitation of DNA
polymorphism is one of the most significant developments in the field of molecular genetics …

Comparative analysis of a number of studies in drought‐stressed maize (Zea mays L.)
reporting quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for abscisic acid concentration, root characteristics …

Alleles that confer multiple disease resistance (MDR) are valuable in crop improvement,
although the molecular mechanisms underlying their functions remain largely unknown. A …

The genetics of arthropod resistance have been studied since the early 20th century, when
Harlan (1916) demonstrated that resistance to the leaf blister mite, Eriophyes gossypii …

An advanced backcross population between an accession of Oryza rufipogon (IRGC
105491) and the US cultivar Jefferson (Oryza sativa ssp. japonica) was developed to identify …

We measured sequence diversity in 21 loci distributed along chromosome 1 of maize (Zea
mays ssp. mays L.). For each locus, we sequenced a common sample of 25 individuals …

Abstract Phytic acid (myo-inositol-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexa kis phosphate or Ins P6) typically
represents approximately 75% to 80% of maize (Zea mays) seed total P. Here we describe …

Drought is a major constraint in sorghum production worldwide. Drought-stress in sorghum
has been characterized at both pre-flowering and post-flowering stages resulting in a drastic …

In recent years, molecular marker technology in higher plants has witnessed a shift from the
so-called random DNA markers (RDMs), developed in the past arbitrarily from genomic DNA …

The effects of intermating on recombination and the development of linkage maps were
assessed in maize. Progeny derived from a common population (B73× Mo17) before and …
