Abstract excerpt
Grain shape is an important component of end-use quality in rice. The genomic location of the grain shape QTL GS7 was narrowed to lie within a 4.8-kb segment on chromosome 7. The homologous region in cv. Nipponbare contains no annotated genes, while two open reading frames were predicted, one of which (ORF2) represented a likely candidate for GS7 gene on the basis of correlation between sequence variation and...
