Uncovering the genetic mechanisms regulating panicle architecture in rice with GPWAS and GWAS
Abstract Background The number of panicles per plant, number of grains per panicle, and 1000-grain weight are important factors contributing to the grain yield per plant in rice.The Rice Diversity Panel 1 (RDP1) contains a total of 421 purified, homozygous rice accessions poise pads in bulk representing diverse genetic variations within O.sativa.Th
