This study was carried out to characterize quantitative trait loci (QTL) related with low temperature germination and emergence in rice. A recombinant inbred line (RILs) population was developed from a cross between a cold-susceptible Tongil-type rice var
The genetic basis underlying heterosis for agronomic traits of rice under cold water irrigated field condition was investigated in the 143 RILs and 286 BC1F1 lines from the cross between a cold-susceptible variety, Milyang23 and a co
The main problem of the Korean rice improvement program is narrow genetic background of genepool used as crossing parents. Although some successes have been reported for introduction of genes from the germplasm of distant genetic relationship such as indi
