Abstract excerpt
Stigma exsertion is one of the important traits which contribute to the efficient improvement of commercial seed production in hybrid rice. In order to understand the genetic factors involved in the stigma exsertion of an indica variety--IR24--a QTL analysis was conducted using the F2 population between a japonica variety--Koshihikari--and a breeding line showing exserted stigma selected from the backcross...
