Genome-wide association study and gene set analysis for understanding candidate genes involved in salt tolerance at the rice seedling stage.

Abstract excerpt

Salt is the major factor limiting crop productivity in saline soils and is controlled by various genes. The development of salt-tolerant rice through molecular breeding methods is important to meet the needs of rice breeding. We used 295 accessions to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of salt tolerance-related phenotypes in rice at the seedling stage and obtained 93 candidate genes with high...
