Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A major dwarfing region for plant height, asd1, was identified employing the next-generation sequencing-based QTL-Seq approach from a dwarf mutant and is demonstrated to be responsible for the dwarf nature with least penalty on yield in rice. The yield plateauing of modern rice is witnessed since many decades due to the narrow genetic base owing to the usage of a single recessive gene, i.e.,...
