Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Apparent amylose content (AAC), gel consistency (GC), and gelatinization temperature (GT) are recognized as the most important determinants of rice eating and cooking qualities. The contributions of major starch-synthesis genes to these three traits have been investigated in the three consecutive experiments. In an initial QTL mapping with 130 doubled haploid (DH) lines, derived from an inter-subspecific cross of 'Nanjing11'/'Balilla', the major QTLs responsible for AAC, GC, and GT coincided with the Wx (granule-bound starch synthase gene), Wx, and Sss IIa (soluble starch synthase gene) loci, respectively. In the second experiment, contributions of the major starch-synthesis genes to AAC, GC, and GT variations were estimated by using a multiple linear regression analysis. As shown, the Wx locus was a principal determinant for both AAC and GC, and could account for 58.5% and 38.9% of the phenotypic variations, respectively; while the Sss IIa locus was associated with GT, and could explain 25.5% of the observed variation. Eventually, a F population consisting of 501 individuals, derived from an inter-subspecific cross of the two sticky rice varieties 'Suyunuo' and 'Yangfunuo 4', was examined with gene-tagged markers. In the absence of the Wx gene, none of the starch-synthesis genes investigated could dominate the GC variation, however, the Sss IIa locus could also explain 25.1% of the GT variation. In summary, the Wx locus dominates the AAC variation, and meanwhile plays a major role in the GC variation. The Sss IIa locus is a major factor in explaining the GT variation. Apart from the major genes, other genetic factors may also contribute to the GC/GT variations. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
