Abstract excerpt
A robust (long and thick) root system is characteristic of upland japonica rice adapted to drought conditions. Using deep sequencing and large scale phenotyping data of 795 rice accessions and an integrated strategy combining results from high resolution mapping by GWAS and linkage mapping, comprehensive analyses of genomic, transcriptomic and haplotype data, we identified large numbers of QTLs affecting rice...
