Detection of quantitative trait loci (qtl) associated with yield and yield component traits in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] sown early and late planting dates
Abstract:Genetic improvement for grain yield is one of the challenges in plant breeding programs. QTL analysis is often used to dissect complex trait like grain yield for a better genetic manipulation. The purpose of this study was to map QTLs associated with yield and yield component traits of sorghum grown under early and late planting dates. A total of 528 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and their two parents were sown early and late planting times in an augmented rectangular lattice block design with two replicatio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
