Low temperature germination is one ofthe major determinants for stable stand establishment in the direct seeding method in temperate regions. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling low temperature germiability (LTG) and awn were confirmed in BC1F1 usi
Improving grain yield and quality of japonica rice continues to be a major breeding objective in Korea. In this study we evaluated genetic divergence among four japonica rice cultivars and assessed the relationship between genetic distance and hybrid perf
