Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food of more than half of the world's population. The identification of genetic diversity in local varieties of rice compared with that of improved or introduced varieties is important in breeding elite varieties for sustainable agriculture. Array-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection is a useful technique for such studies and breeding applications....
