Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Poor grain plumpness (GP) is one of the main constraints to reaching the yield potential of hybrid rice. RESULTS: In this study, the GP of 177 rice varieties was investigated in three locations across 2 years. By combining the genotype data of 261 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, association mapping was conducted to identify the marker-GP association loci. Among 31 marker-GP association loci...
