“…The HJX74-SSSLs were widely used to detect QTLs for traits of agronomic importance (Zhang et al, 2012 ; Zhu et al, 2014 , 2018 ; Yang et al, 2016 , 2021a , b ; Zhou et al, 2017b ; Pan et al, 2021 ; Zhan et al, 2021 ; Fu et al, 2022 ), to clone genes of functional importance, and to mine alleles of functional variants (Zeng et al, 2006 ; Teng et al, 2012 ; Wang et al, 2012 ; Fang et al, 2019 ; Sui et al, 2019 ; Gao et al, 2021 ; Zhan et al, 2022 ). Using the HJX74-SSSL library as a platform for rice design, a series of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), maintainer and restorer lines, and wide-compatible indica lines (WCILs) were developed (Dai et al, 2015 , 2016 ; Luan et al, 2019 ; Guo et al, 2022 ). Recently, the SSSLs were used to detect QTLs controlling SER in rice.…”
