Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Anaerobic germination is one of the most important traits for rice under direct-seeded conditions. The trait reduces risk of crop failure due to waterlogged conditions after seeding and allows water to be used as a means of weed control. The identification of QTLs and causal genes for anaerobic germination will facilitate breeding for improved direct-seeded rice varieties. In this study, we explored a...
