Abstract excerpt
Weedy rice (Oryza sativa f. spontanea) is an important resource for breeding and evolutionary studies. The present study was carried out to identify the genotype of weedy rice strains responsible for variation of pericarp color by sequencing exon 6 of the Rc gene. Haplotype analysis revealed that rice strains with light red- and red-pericarp lacked the 14 bp deletion in the Rc gene, while rice strains with...
