“Study on Quantitative Trait Loci toward Understanding and Improving Plant Function”
Agronomic traits are determined by genetic factors and environmental factors in crops. Most of important agronomic trait is a quantitative trait. Recently, genetic studies of quantitative traits in crops are actively conducted through genome sequencing and development of DNA markers. Analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) can reveal molecular mechanisms to determine quantitative traits as well as contributing to crop breeding in an efficient way. This lecture explains about the QTLs for agronomic traits in rice, which reported by researchers.

・There is a possibility of changing to online lectures.
