QTL and QTL networks for cold tolerance at the reproductive stage detected using selective introgression in rice.

Low temperature stress is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting the productivity of Geng (japonica) rice grown the temperate regions as well as in tropical high lands worldwide. To develop rice varieties with improved cold tolerance (CT) at the reproductive stage, 84 BC2 CT introgression lines...
