Abstract excerpt
In order to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for leaf senescence and related traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.), we developed two backcross populations, indica/japonica// japonica and indica/japonica//indica, using IR36 as the indica parent and Nekken-2 as the japonica parent. The QTLs were mapped using a set of simple sequence-repeat markers (SSRs) in the BC(1)F(1) population. Senescence was characterized...
