Article Abstract
QTL were identified for symbiotic nitrogen fixation in common bean. These QTL were detected in both greenhouse and field studies, and many overlapped with previously reported QTL in diverse mapping populations. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) productivity can be improved through the genetic enhancement of its symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) capacity. This study was aimed at understanding the genetic architecture of SNF through QTL analysis of a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population contrasting for SNF potential. The mapping population consisted of 188 F RILs derived from a cross of Solwezi and AO-1012-29-3-3A that were evaluated for SNF in the greenhouse and field in Zambia. The population was genotyped with 5398 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. QTL for shoot biomass, nitrogen percentage in shoot biomass, nitrogen percentage in seed, total nitrogen derived from atmosphere (Ndfa) and percentage of nitrogen derived from the atmosphere (%Ndfa) were identified. Three QTL for %Ndfa were identified on chromosomes Pv01, Pv04 and Pv09. Five QTL for Ndfa were identified on Pv04, Pv06, Pv07, Pv09 and Pv11. The QTL Ndfa9.1 identified in the current study overlapped with a previously reported QTL for SNF. A major QTL Ndfa7.1 (R = 14.9%) was consistently identified in two greenhouse studies and overlapped with previously reported QTL. The QTL Ndfa4.2 identified from the greenhouse experiment is novel and overlapped with the QTL %NB4.3, %NS4.2 and %Ndfa4.2 from the field experiment. These QTL identified in both greenhouse and field experiments, which overlap with previously reported QTL, could potentially be deployed by marker-assisted breeding to accelerate development of bean cultivars with enhanced SNF.

This study aimed to identify QTL governing three traits of the resistance against the two planthoppers such as damage score (DS), nymphal survival (NS) and days to wilt (DW) using the 94 RIL population derived from the cross TN1/RP2068 utilizing 125 SSR and 1500 SNP markers. In case of the whitebacked planthopper (WBPH) five major and three minor QTL while for the brown planthopper (BPH) four major and seven minor QTL were identified to be associated with these three traits. Two major QTL, each on chromosomes 1 and 2, were responsible for DS and NS against WBPH accounted for 25% and 16% of the phenotypic variance (PVE).

Introduction: Rice is mainly consumed by half of the world's population. The imminent climate change and population growth expected in the next 30 years will outpace the current rice production capacity, posing risks to food and nutrition security in developing nations. One simplified approach to address this challenge is to improve photosynthetic capacity by increasing chlorophyll content in leaves and stems.

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) are essential nutrients for plant health. Deficiencies in N, P, or S in plants lead to lower seed production and seed quality in grain crops, including soybean seed. Soybean seed is a source of protein, oil, essential amino acids, and minerals.

Introduction: (commonly known as the Aral barbel) represents a commercially valuable fish species in China, contributing significantly to regional aquaculture economies. High-density genetic linkage mapping coupled with quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis has emerged as a powerful approach for elucidating the genetic mechanism of complex traits in aquatic species.
Method: The present study aimed to construct a SNP-based high-density linkage map using male parent, female parent, and 165 F full-sib progenies through whole-genome resequencing strategy, and subsequently perform comprehensive QTL mapping of six economically important growth-related traits, in order to identify candidate genes underlying growth regulation in .
