Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: Three novel QTLs for grain shape were genetically fine mapped, with two of which to a 250-kb target interval on rice chromosome 2 that contains fourteen candidate genes. Grain shape (grain length, width, and thickness) determines crop yield and grain quality. However, the trait is regulated by numerous naturally occurring quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and the underlying mechanism remains largely...
