Integrating Molecular Markers and Environmental Covariates To Interpret Genotype by Environment Interaction in Rice ( L.) Grown in Subtropical Areas.

Understanding the genetic and environmental basis of genotype × environment interaction (G×E) is of fundamental importance in plant breeding. If we consider G×E in the context of genotype × year interactions (G×Y), predicting which lines will have stable and superior performance across years is an important challenge for breeders. A better understanding of the factors that contribute to the overall grain yield and quality of rice ( L.

Genome-Wide Association Study Using Historical Breeding Populations Discovers Genomic Regions Involved in High-Quality Rice.

Rice ( L.) is one of the most important staple food crops in the world; however, there has recently been a shift in consumer demand for higher grain quality. Therefore, understanding the genetic architecture of grain quality has become a key objective of rice breeding programs.

Resistance to Multiple Temperate and Tropical Stem and Sheath Diseases of Rice.

Stem rot and aggregated sheath spot are the two major stem and sheath diseases affecting rice (Oryza sativa L.) in temperate areas. A third fungal disease, sheath blight, is a major disease in tropical areas.
