Abstract excerpt
Boron (B) toxicity is a nutritional disorder affecting crop production in many parts of the world. This study explored genetic factors associated with B tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) through an integrated genome mapping and transcriptomic approach. Variation in B tolerance was first evaluated by screening a panel of 137 indica genotypes in B toxic conditions (+2 mM B), followed by genome-wide association...
