“…QTL for rice grain iron and zinc contents have been mapped by using different biparental mapping populations originating from crosses between indica and japonica varieties and crosses involving wild rice relatives. Mapping populations include F 2 progeny (Kumar, Jain, & Jain, ), recombinant inbred lines (RILs, Anuradha et al, ; Zhang et al, ), doubled haploid (DH) lines (Stangoulis, Huynh, Welch, Choi, & Graham, ; Swamy, Descalsota, et al, , Descolta‐Empleo et al ), backcross inbred lines (BILs, Garcia‐Oliveira, Tan, Fu, & Sun, ) and introgression lines (Xu, Li, Yang, & Xu, ). DH lines are favoured as QTL mapping populations because their true breeding nature and convenient production enable accurate phenotyping with replications.…”
