Article Abstract
Introduction: Plant height (PH) and ear height (EH) are key plant architectural traits in maize, which will affect the photosynthetic efficiency, high plant density tolerance, suitability for mechanical harvesting.
Methods: QTL mapping were conducted for PH and EH using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population and two corresponding immortalized backcross (IB) populations obtained from crosses between the RIL population and the two parental lines.
Results: A total of 17 and 15 QTL were detected in the RIL and IB populations, respectively. Two QTL, () and () in the RIL, were simultaneously identified for PH and EH. Combing reported genome-wide association and cloned PH-related genes, co-expression network analyses were constructed, then five candidate genes with high confidence in major QTL were identified including and , whose homologs have been confirmed to play a role in determining PH in maize and soybean.
Discussion: QTL mapping used a immortalized backcross population is a new strategy. These identified genes in this study can provide new insights for improving the plant architecture in maize.

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).

The most commonly used rootstock, 'Carolina strongback' (Syngenta, Basel, Switzerland) flowers weeks later than commercial watermelon cultivars, which delays the onset of female flowering (DFF) of the scion, leading to an undesirable delay in fruit maturity and harvesting. Understanding the genetics of DFF in a population will facilitate the development of rootstocks with the early flowering habits preferred for commercial production.

The number of thoracolumbar vertebrae (NTLV) and the number of ribs (NR) are economically important traits in pigs due to their influence on carcass length and meat yield. Although is an established key gene, it fails to fully account for population-level variation in vertebral count, necessitating a further exploration of its genetic mechanisms. Given the efficacy of crossbred populations in mapping the genetic determinants of phenotypic variation, we analyzed 439 pigs from a Landrace × Yorkshire cross.

Background: Glyphosate resistance in Conyza canadensis (Canada fleabane) has been primarily attributed to non-target-site resistance (NTSR) mechanisms such as vacuolar sequestration, though these have not been formally elucidated. While a target-site mutation at EPSPS2 (P106S) was recently identified, it failed to account for many resistant cases. These findings underscore the need to re-evaluate the genetic basis of glyphosate resistance in this species.
